Your suggestion is to penalise those who made adequate plans and compensate those who didn’t.
You mean, like people paying towards the NHS who rely on private health care? Like people whose tax goes towards education despite them having no children themselves?

We are all taxed to provide essential services to the population for the common good, and State pension contributions are no different. A lot of our taxes go towards various State benefits that many of us have never claimed, but you don't hear many people moaning about that principle. As long as it doesn't go to scroungers, of course.
