Most of those are in the service, police, fire, or rescue. being a delivery driver (pilots are a form) and making such statements is just an odd romanticism or at least a bad attempt at making the job seem more important than it is.

You're confusing fungibility for importance. While one particular delivery driver or pilot may be less important than one particular "rockstar programmer," society is much more reliant on delivery drivers and pilots as a group than on programmers. That may change with automation but we're not there yet.
