Entertainment, decor, toys, etc. are only one part of what workers do.

Medical sectors, education, construction, policing, court systems, vehicle manufacturing, raw materials acquisition, tech development, energy production/ distribution, etc etc etc

Literally every service in every sector of life requires enormous manpower to sustain. If you wanna take issue with part time retail work, whatever. But to say that "most jobs are bullshit" just speaks of a deep misunderstanding of the amount of work being done every single day in every single field in every single nation on the planet.

Also... imagine life without cheap plastic trinkets. Without collectibles. Without artwork. We have those things for a reason, and they exist because people want them.

You're overestimating the percentage of actually useful jobs in those sectors. Policing? Seriously? Think of all the worthless administrators in the medical and education sectors. A lot of energy production is in service of shit we wouldn't need to bother with if we'd simply reduce the routine bullshit. Oil prices tanked when so many people stopped commuting. Office buildings were left empty as many could simply work from home.

"Tech development" is hilarious. Lots of multi-billion-dollar apps that do little but provide minor conveniences at major costs. Life would be better without a lot of these unnecessary things, actually, because it'd mean we wouldn't structure society around ridiculous full-time work and we'd have more of the most precious resource of them all: time.
