Evolution does not preclude such strategy as free riding. The amish community takes advantage from the advances of civilization like medicine, and infrastructure while they don't contribute to it. This is okay while the larger world accepts them or while the larger world exists to shield them from the consequences of their omissions. This does not mean that they win in evolution. Winning is if you can adapt every time the environment changes, which is still to be seen.
