i mostly agree, but there are too many jobs that really need to ignore standard holidays (like emergency department personnel and restaurateurs/grocers, to name a couple) because shit happens. it’s not often that i’m too exhausted to make a bowl of cereal, but if i’m that tired i’m going to buy some food instead of suffering, you know?
The solution is paid overtime. In Sweden there are a couple of overtime categories. If you’re scheduled to work on Sundays, you get like 20% extra. This stacks with working nights which gives you like 20% extra again.

Holidays count as Sunday.
