Da Vinci's work would have been diminished if he hadn't been able to devote himself to it full time.
I want access to all books, even those written in spare time. Best is a very "subjective" term.

If this spare time is so valuable, and more of it results in more worthwhile art, why are we not devoting more resources to create more spare time? I would love to be able to wake up and say, "Well, looks like all my time is spare today, I think I will create."

Davinci's work was his art.
