It doesn’t really matter whether you have a Janitor available every day or just one day every week.
But you will really notice if you have a surgeon available every day or just one day of the week.
Please note that I explicitly don’t have the opinion that janitors aren’t important. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t exist and noone would pay for them.
But saying that they are just as important as a surgeon just simply isn’t true.

Yeah, but I never said that. I said “janitors are just as important as nurses and software engineers” because “all labor has value”
To be clear, I do agree that not all jobs are strictly equal in value. But lets shift our perspective a little: is the life of a CEO worth more than the janitor? I don’t think so. And yet the janitor often trades more of his life for far less pay. I think the time the janitor is sacrificing is just as precious to him as the CEO’s time is to the CEO.
The main point I would argue is that anyone sacrificing the best hours of the best years of their life deserves a living wage and basic respect / dignity.
I disagree.
