Socialism isn’t about validating people’s random desires as labor, but collectively running the economy to meet as many people’s needs to the best ability possible. It’s about moving beyond competition and profit into cooperation and fulfilling uses and needs. We would not support someone wanting to build sand castles in Antarctica unless we had hyperabundance and it didn’t matter, or if there was legitimate scientific need. Same with landlords, whose economic basis is entirely usury and thus unproductive. Administration will be a necessity, so functions similar to CEOs will exist even in higher stages of Communism, but not just because people want to.
