The idea that artists, in particular, don't like working with their hands is laughable considering how many types of art involve exactly that.
But, yes, that guy is wrong. There's a reason so many "white collar" workers have hobbies that involve working with their hands. A lot of people like it and would do it part time or even fulltime in an economy where it paid more & had better working conditions.

TL;DR: The Kropotkin model – half the working day is physical, the other half is spent on intellectual pursuits – would absolutely work for many people.
