approximate lead time from starting an ATC course to being a usable Full Performance Controller is about 5 years.

Wow!
Funnily enough it's a similar lead time as that for pilots starting from scratch to getting checked to line at an airline... believe me, it's hard to run a schedule with less than the required number of crew, in the same way it's hard to provide a srvice with less than the required number of controllers!
