You need to read up the history of the 401k.[1]

It was an obscure part of the tax code that was never intended to be a tax-deferred saving vehicle until some guy named Ted Benna figured it out. He even suggested it to other clients and they said "no, the IRS will never buy it".

So is your argument that anyone using a 401k is a "greedy tax cheat"?

Nearly forty years ago that was the case. Today it's expressly intended to be used that way, the gov't even heavily promotes it.
