I don't know of anyone qualified to judge someones "ROI to society." That is a totally fucked up outlook. What next, eugenics?

Welcome to reality, population: everyone.
Whether you like it or agree with it or not, the math has to be done at some point since we are not (yet?) a post-scarcity species.
How do you think things like life insurance policies and wrongful death awards are calculated?

Deciding ROI to society is what the government does.
Consider questions like: Why did we spend so much money trying on a Covid vaccine but not to cure gall bladder cancer? Why does eminent domain exist? Why do young men have to register for selective service?

I could see a very particular way of interpreting the ROI of a person that's offensive.
But they were clearly talking about ROI of the job training.
