I do fully get this point of view. But do you then tip your postman at Xmas or other delivery drivers? They're also being paid for what they're doing... Where do you draw the line and why?
Ultimately you should tip, if you feel someone is providing something of value to you.
Barbers get a tip, for not ****ing up my haircut and get a extra when they have done a good job.
Waiting staff get 10% from custom and up to 20% if they have been attentive and made the meal a pleasant experience.
Taxis, I only ever tip if they cost less than i expected/ get me somewhere quickly when needed.
Takeaway delivery is worthy of tipping when the food would have cost exactly the same if I had picked it up myself and I couldn't be arsed to do so.
i don't tip the bin men here as it's a pretty poor service.
If the bin men start ensuring the bin store is tidy and that all rubbish has been taken away in a timely manner, then sure i would give them something at Christmas.
