I disagree (but could be wrong). The fast aging seems to be an intentional game design decision; as evidenced by the fact that clicking a child sim on your family tree gives you the free option to /speed up/ the aging process to Young Adulthood. You also will have the option to early retire a sim, but only after you retire a sim for the first time naturally.
A sim can fill their lifetime happiness meter, but can't complete it. So I can only assume that the game is designed around a gameplay loop of creating a sim, filling their happiness before they retire, and repeat. And so, they offer the ability to age and retire sooner, if desired, if you complete it sooner. And for that purpose, their lifespan is really overly long if anything. A max lifetime happiness meter can be completed in one day.
