Mentally, I categorize “donating half your income” as “exceptional circumstance” and trust people in that 1% sliver of the population to make the right choice for them.
Also, too, heavy donors probably aren’t the same people looking to retire early
I only give 10%, but that is enough to make itemizing deductions worth it for me, when combined with my mortgage interest. I am also looking to retire early (or at least become financially independent and increase donations substantially). Good financial advice is always relevant to everyone.
