The paper itself is actually hilarious (in an academic paper sort of way) and is genuinely worth a read (its pretty short). They were clearly A) answering a random question with way more analytical firepower than really necessarily, and B) having a lot of fun with it.

Here’s a link to the actual paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773186324001014

Sample paragraph (to give you an idea what its like):

This is not the first time that monkey labour has been considered as a potential source of intelligible output. In 1964, the science fiction writer and futurist Arthur C Clarke foresaw that “with our present knowledge of animal psychology, and genetics, we could certainly solve the servant problem with the help of the monkey kingdom. Of course, eventually our super-chimpanzees would start forming trade unions, and we’d be right back where we started.” [22] Despite this fear, to the best of our knowledge, no chimpanzee has ever taken industrial action to date, regardless of pay or workplace conditions.

I remember some years ago there was a controversy about coconut water sellers using coconuts harvested via monkey labor. So much so that retailers had signs saying something like “no monkeys were involved or harmed in the making of this product” or something similarly ridiculous sounding.
