This is the heart of it. Most "craft" industries that have not yet been disrupted by technology or been made "more efficient" tend to coincidentally be the ones that are in demand and pay well -> and that society generally wants "good X" of. e.g. Plumbers, Electricans, previously software engineers. Efficiency usually benefits the consumer or the employer, not the craftsmen in most industries. There's a reason people are saying right now to "get a trade" where I am.
If you look at what still pays well and/or is stable (e.g. where I live trades are highly paid and stable work) its usually the crafts industry. We still build houses for example mostly like we did way back (i.e. much of the skills are still craft, not industrialized industry) when and it shows in the price of them.
