I think the expectation is that you will retire at 75 and die by 80, so having 5 years of salary to fade into oblivion with sounds nice.
And better to have just a bit extra, too, so that your leftover funds can pay off all the medical debt incurred while dying so your family doesn't inherit it.
Fuck it really is bleak, isn't it?
This includes the people that died in their 50s and 60s and only worked their entire life with no vacation
