Some people are bad at planning ahead, or have a run of bad luck and have to burn through their savings for an emergency- a guaranteed stipend in retirement prevents people from ending up on the streets, having to steal or starve, and generally prevents various societal ills. It’s not like pensions have always been around- before that things were not exactly great for common working people if they didn’t have family that could support them.
