Here's the thing.

An average 30 year old who is not doing sports will not lose muscle mass by itself.

An average 50 year old will lose 1% per year or so.

If you get older you have to work just to keep the status quo.

Sure, but the average is what it is because most people barely exercise, especially when they're older. If everyone lived a much more active life with more strenuous exercise, the average would look completely different.
