The image doesn’t mention walking. Singing, dancing, and art. I consider those to be hobbies, don’t you? I define hobbies as fun unnecessary activity, or in this case - behavior.
Yeah, I suppose I’ve used the word beyond its scope. Let’s take dancing for example. People go to social events, like clubs, to socialize, dance, and hookup with people. That’s definitely beyond the word hobby. However, let’s say you want to learn to dance and decide to go to a dance school and take classes. I would consider that a hobby. Now, in context to the OP, activities conjoined with skill implies, at least to me, that maybe they’re talking about the latter kind of behavior. I dunno, but your view is perfectly valid.
I agree that they can be a hobby. Like you might speed walk in races or something. But that’s the exception. I believe what OP is trying to say is that some things have been transformed from being human into a skill that people are expected to be good at to participate in. If you’re not good at singing, people don’t want to hear it. If you’re not good at dancing, people don’t want to see it. Etc.
Oh weird, if I encountered someone doing something without skill, I normally don’t care, unless it was somehow truly offensive. I haven’t even considered that anyone would care enough about such things. Thanks man for the clarity.

If 99.9% of people on the planet do it, it’s not a hobby. It’s a behavior.
