Okay, but come on, 55% of people that age have a 401k or IRA? How many people under 30 even have a job that pays well enough to offer that sort of benefit? Jobs pay shit these days.
I think you’re really underestimating how many 25-35 year olds work for large corps. And you’ve got it reversed. The big corp jobs are the only ones paying wll enough to escape that treadmill. Sucks, I would love to work for some local mom and pop, but FAANG can double or triple the salaries of what they can offer. Most of my peers that I have talked to are in a similar boat.
And again, we all get retirement accounts in the first couple of weeks of employment. That’s been the case since I worked at comparitively much smaller companies even.

Well as I said below, I would like some evidence for it beyond this poll.
Here ya go. The gov puts it at about 50% for about the same age group.
Ok, fair enough. Thank you.
