出来る supports が not the direct object.
But I agree with you that learning kanji is useful even tho time consuming. I have just added 10 extra flashcards so I got to 140 kanji learnt now. Many people think learning kanji individually is a waste of time, better learning them when met in phrases or in compound words...but I personally do not agree. Yes when you meet a compound word you will learn those kanji with 1 reading anyway, but thinking that will be enough is, in my opinion, not enough. Like digging out a little pebble of gold out of a mine and call yourself satisfied.
The satisfaction I have when I look up for a word and see the examples and I can read those kanji in the examples or I can look up for a compound kanji by its reading only coz I know the individual kanji is huge.
For example I had always met the verb "eat" and I had always ignored the existence of other readings (such as はむ、くう、くらう). The one you find most is taberu and you live happily with it. The first time I met 朝食 even tho I didn't know what it was (well, guessed it knowing individual kanji), took me like 10 seconds to grab my dictionary and look up for the exact reading.
