I would contend for any job that is not high paying, individuals cannot save enough to cover longer than expected age in retirement, but could cover the average.

The solution to that problem should not involve an employer. It might look something like legally mandated defined benefit pensions, aka Social Security in the US.
So you're just reinventing Social Security in the US.

That’s how us techies do it :-). We invent something “disruptive” only to learn that this was already known for decades.

I am saying that is the name of the fix for people not choosing to save enough money in the US. No employer is needed in the picture.
That said, defined benefit pensions were always designed around the idea that you'd be staying in the same place for maybe decades. Federal government pensions are perhaps the most obvious example but it applied to many companies as well. And that just doesn't represent typical behavior--especially among professional workers--these days.
