This is something which is not considered in a static age limit: the different worn-out levels of the people. There are certainly many people who are eager and fit enough to work till they reach a high age, nobody should stop them doing so, but not everybody has the skills, health and possibility to do so.

You bring up some good points. Over here it will be taken into account if you're doing manual labour that takes a bigger toll on the body over the years. The problem is objectively establishing which jobs are heavier physically, and how much compared to others/eachother.
