There's some narrow slice where a "landlord" does something useful for money like maintaining the property. I don't want to deal with the plumbing or repainting.

But almost all of the time it's just taking money for nothing, or charging way more than that's worth. That's not admirable. So fuck them.

You are talking about property management, my friend. A "landlord" gets passive income by doing nothing at all; that's the point of it.

(Of course a landlord could also be a property manager, but almost none are.)

There is really nothing wrong with the idea of shelter as a service (i.e. renting a place to live). The problem is more with buildings as an investment, whether in the form of landlords or home owners living in their investment. NIMBYs are in large part caused by the latter to take just one negative example.
