You're confusing (deliberately?) a few different things. (1) better healthcare, reducing poverty etc. lift the floor of longevity but not the ceiling (2) "cost of old age" is exactly what longevity research attempts to reduce - noone is interested in living longer as a vegetable; instead, the goal is to increase healthspan - living healthier for longer |

In many parts of the worth we are living longer due to these things (or were before Covid)
Longevity research may also be interested in lifting this further but are all these people who now live cor even longer going to want to carry on working?
If not what are they going to live on, how are their pensions going to be paid for, how are we going to mitigate the extra demand placed on earth etc.?
I'm going to die one day and I'm fine with that
