Never understood that attitude. As folks mention the math for most of us does not seem to include any type of voluntary retirement and when we do its going to be because we are so messed up we can’t work which likely means we won’t be able to game. Seriously though, even before our electronic age, there are so many worthwhile things to do outside of clocking into a job.
You’re dealing with a generation retiring where a significant minority dedicated themselves to their jobs 100% to fulfill their family duty of being a provider. So they became boring ass people chasing overtime and money to the detriment of developing themselves as people.
Once these people retire, they don’t know what to do with themselves.
I mean this is me to some degree. My job pays for everything. Is super important and I have to constantly be about the job in my life (unfortunately). I even like what I do to some degree, but all the same there is much more than it in this world.

I’m going to take up birdwatching and hope I die in the wetlands to the sound of a thousand red-winged blackbirds singing their mating calls.
