I think it risky to think we might live to 100 soon. Basically, according to here
Life expectancy is different from lifespan. The significant increase in life expectancy over few decades was mainly due to reducing childhood mortality and the introduction of antibiotics ....that does not mean our natural lifespan has increased
Anyway, to cut short, it is “risky” to plan for living to 100 because your delayed gratification gets longer and what happens is you are likely to die from working before you reach 100... in other words, there is no RE at all because you over budgeted( not saying one must RE after achieving FI)
I think it's riskier to not plan to live longer past 75, what if you don't have a direct next of kin that somewhat promises your basic survival?Life expectancy is different from lifespan.
