Nobody wants to live on the street after retiring so that's why we've got to start saving now or invest wisely or else it won't be possible to retire early. What's the point of working all of your life only to live in financial pain during retirement. Working 8-5 doesn't provide enough to save for retirement.
Fate doesn't treat ppl the same there isn't equality for all. Nearly all ppl living in Asia, South America, African & MENA countries aren't receiving same opportunities as ppl living in the west. They're two different worlds.
All of us want to have early retirement. Even right now we want to quit this 8 a.m.–5 p.m. job and retire but the problem is that we are not financially able. If we retire or quit now we go broke and live on the street. That is why you are right that we need to plan it ahead and also make sure your finances are in your favor. But right now there are people who prefer to work because they get bored and have nothing to do and others want to work again as they have no income.
