Personally I'm way happier with a 401(k) than a pension. Risk is more distributed with a pension, yes, and many people don't have the knowledge or resolve to properly manage their own retirement funds. But pensions are a royal PITA, way more complicated (and expensive) to manage than a 401k. So if I had to choose between money coming out of my paycheck to go into a complicated expensive pension fund that may or may not be around in a few decades, OR a 401k that I have complete control over and can take with me when I leave the company, I'll take the 401k every day of the week.
