I assume a very large proportion of retirement funds are stored in these ETFs, so average people would eat the cost either way.

A very small portion of pension or 401k plans are held in these ETFs. Pension funds invest in and 401k plans do offer mutual funds that have the same or similar benchmarks that these ETFs have so these facilities have helped to stabilize those.
