It's not an assumption of interest; it's a policy decision that if you have capital above a certain level you can afford to use part of it to fund your income shortfall. Quite different, and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people with significant savings to use part of that to support themselves rather than relying on money from other people's taxes.
