The general rate of withdrawal need to be lower if you have a portfolio that is very conservative. That may make sense when you're saving for you yourself and have a low risk tolerance, but it's not needed. That people feel worried enough to do that, though, is a good argument for insurance/state run pension schemes, because they an inherently pay out more since they can smooth out the risks and pay toward the maximum averaged returns.
