Do you think that’s true for more than a small minority of people?

The author isn’t incredulous that anyone could find joy in doing something. Of course some people love their work. The author is contending that a lot of people don’t, but feel like they have to pretend that they do for cultural reasons.

How does the author know that they're pretending? That seems rather presumptuous.
