There are plenty in the industry get the opportunity to work on what they like working on.

You're not saying anything here. Sure there are people like that, but the nature of capitalism means that people _must_ work to survive.

This requirement precludes finding work you enjoy, and thus those that have the opportunity to work on something they like are in the minority.

Put another way, would you quit your job immediately if you're asked to work on something you don't want to do? If not, are you a "nine to fiver"?
