Plenty of weathy people do things, not because they have to, but because they want to

Plenty of retired people carry on doing things too

Here is another view: some of them maybe do things to perform richness. And others are probably so bored that they just try new extreme things, but nothing fills that inner void. I can't get no satisfaction.

Or maybe not. I'll never know.

so the only way to get that inner satisfaction is to do work that you hate? is there another option I'm missing here?

Most people find work that directly addresses their basic needs fulfilling to some degree. Things like growing your own food, hunting, building and maintaining your home, etc.

and they can still do that if food is available for free. in fact people today put enormous amounts of effort into growing their own "organic" food instead of buying the cheap stuff from supermarkets. I don't see why that wouldn't still do it when it's essentially free.
