I'm not exactly a proponent of UBI, but most of the arguments I've seen have been about maintaining the economy rather than freeing people from unpleasant work.
Edit: Actually, I'll amend that to say they have been about saving the economy by preventing the largest part of the population from becoming destitute, and potentially fostering economic growth by lessening the economic barriers low income but enterprising or ambitious people face in trying to realize their ambitions.
