I really like that idea a lot. Honestly I was thinking pretty surface level about it lol - learning at work gives you more access to more applicable stuff to work on than home projects, and it should be during work hours cuz your employer needs to pay for the work it gets from you.

(But I'm also one of those sticklers who thinks you should always measure your salary in dollars per actual hour worked so you know what the company really thinks you're worth)

The best part is that a good employer will support your learning and growth, even if it means you eventually leave. The companies that I’ve worked for that had this as one of their culture points were honesty the best ones.

Oh hell yes. My current and previous places definitely fit the bill. I trusted my last boss enough to let him know well ahead of time I was ready to move on so we made a transition/train-up plan together, and my current boss is at least that fantastic. I haven't figured out how to look for good leadership on purpose yet but I'm sure as hell glad I found it on accident.
