I hired a plumber who took a sledgehammer to my bathroom and the demanded 10x the money to fix it.
I’ve hired contractors that ripped out all the copper and left.
I lived in a house where the owner had hired a landscaper that got paid but didn’t show up for a year.
Nobody needs more than a month of training and a YouTube account to do these jobs. The problem is not skill; it’s trust. Low skill jobs unfortunately attract a lot of unsavory characters, and push out good people.
