My iOS Stocks app says S&P 500 is up 146.23% over the last 5 years. But isn’t that much too short an interval to evaluate in the first place in consideration for retirement?

That doesn't even include dividends. It's more like 166% after dividends

But also yes it's too short of an interval for retirement savings

“Up 146%” is either because your start time is during the 2020 market crash, or the display is actually “150% of the starting value” (up 50%).
