IMO, people who don't work, still contribute to society: raising family, being friends with people, creating art, and so on.
Things that aren't easily measured by the dollar bill, but key to a good civilization.
Not to otherwise disagree with you but I would argue that raising family is hard work
And arguably more important to the prevalence of human civilization. Otherwise, places like South Korea wouldn't be so worried about their shut-in youth population and declining birthrates while being currently at the top of the world's tech industry.
