> subsisting on their own work output but depending (or being subsidized by) the work and resources of others.

How to even begin defining who is subsisted by who? Is the FAANG engineer creating sustenance or is he subsidized?

Most of the productivity increase of the last decades has gone to the richest part of the population. Who's subsisting on who?
