Look at the whole sugya and you will see that the gemoro understood that one ultimately had to work to be able to learn properly.
I don’t see that, unless you mean because otherwise you will be hungry.
In any event, there are many other gemaras which say the opposite. For example, in Eruvin 22a, Rav adda bar masna was going to learn and his wife asked him how she would feed their kids. His response: ???? ????? ?????, there are wild vegetables in the swamp.
Also, that would mean that you think nobody should learn full time at all even for a few years. I didn’t think that was what you were arguing, and it certainly was not what I was responding to.
