I like your points overall, but I do think there are tasks “necessary to keep living” that we do value. However with cleaning specifically, there is limited artistry (cooking) or personal growth (exercise) to it.
Cleaning can be a great way to relax your brain. It's menial enough to be effortless with just enough thinking to occupy the fidgety part of your brain so you can think deep in the background. Like a walk in the park. Meditative.
I don't love it any more than anyone else does, but adopting this type of mindset allows me to see the chore as an opportunity for peace and reflection rather than one more distasteful thing to slog through on my way to the grave.
Cleaning in silence is like nails on a chalkboard. Fortunately iPads and streaming video are a thing.
