Much of the work done by stay at home moms pays less than minimum wage, though: Etsy stores, clipping coupons / general penny pinching, these MLMs.

I do think that the main difference is that the mechanical Turk work is just soul-crushingly boring.

Clipping coupons is soul crushingly boring as well. I also run an Etsy store as a side activity and make about $25 per hour, 5-10 hours a week. Median for all Etsy is still about minimum wage, which, again, is significantly better than MTurk @ $2 an hour. And I'd argue the high volume low margin work for Etsy stores looks every but as soul crushing.
