You completely miss the objectives of either

Tax policy incentives to save for retirement are turning out to be less lucrative than originally advertised.

The objective is for folks to provide the missing part of retirement income requirements for themselves sans gubment handouts. SSA was never meant to replace normal earnings.

Speaking only for myself, when I begin withdrawing 401K savings, they'll likely be taxed at a rate higher than the rate I would have paid if I had taken those funds as income when they were earned

Sorry to hear that. Ever hear of a Roth IRA?

A defined benefit pension is probably better for most non-exceptional workers.

Yeah, some folks make not only poor financial decisions but ones regarding health as well. In a free country, that is our right. We certainly don't need gubment nannies to determine those answers - just incentives.
