What about all the trades people that own their own small businesses? Like some young guy with a grass mowing business?

Tradespeople with businesses are still pretty much tradespeople. At a small business the owner is basically a foreman

It’s rare that those businesses scale to the point of where your role is purely abstract management layers removed from the front line workforce.

That hive is too small to matter. Kind of like I don't really concern myself with all of the wildlife in Australia that would like to eat me. It doesn't affect me in the least day to day.

Amazon was once a small business. It's possible to grow that hive but the vast majority get exterminated.
