You are also hijacking the word “Limud Torah” and same in English “learning” to become a synonym for “not working”. Shuls used to have groups doing tehilim/learning mishna/learning gemora, you choose the one you fit in. In our times, one can work and afford ArtScroll or simply use sefaria and YWN to learn after work. With work from home, you can take 15 minutes out of each hour to work and learn for 16 hours and have 20 hours a week job.

Are you saying that anyone who is willing to sit in beis medrash or thereabout whole day without much effect on the learning and middos is deserving community support, army exemption, etc? I would agree, provided full agreement by the providers. Possibly parents or in-laws could do that, and it is great, but I don’t think Israeli taxpayers do.
