For households without kids it wouldn't be egregious to have the ability to make 529 size contributions to Roth-IRA.

"529 type contributions to Roth-IRA" -- They do, it's called a Roth IRA

mmm perhaps lack of clarity on my comment. I was referring to the size of the maximum contribution. $14000 for 529 vs 5500 for ROTH and there's an income limit for ROTH. ~190k

For that, we have the Roth 401k. Certainly 401ks aren't limited to the 20%, but the 20% can certainly contribute more easily and get more nominal matching.
