It’s kind of a side point, but my late father was a skilled carpenter. And he was very good at plumbing and electrical work as well. And oh, did he hate the term “handyman”. To him it was an insult, sort of like calling a skilled emergency room physician a “first aid guy”.

To be fair, a skilled carpenter or electrician/plumber is a decent bit above what the term "handyman" implies, so his analogy is pretty accurate.
