Oh, jesus. Nowhere were "constant chores" mentioned, and there's nothing wrong with giving your children chores (though, not as a requirement for living, obviously). It forms good habits that the kids will need when they're adults and it gives them something to be responsible for, promoting...responsibility.

If you can't see the difference between a kid with chores and forced laborers, that's a pretty big problem, but it's not on the part of parents who give their kids chores.

My mom had the OP's mentality, that young children should have as much fun as possible because they're young children and they're going to grow up eventually, why take away from that?

Even at that age (~9+) I was dubious about this, and it was mostly negated by the fact my mother had depression and so I often ended up taking care of her (though outside of that I didn't do chores). Looking at the bad habits today I am struggling with, most of them root directly back to this mentality she had and applied to me. I'm not likely to ever have kids, but if I do, they'll be getting chores that they are expected to complete, precisely because I don't want them to end up like me.
