Not sure what you're getting at, 5% of 500k is only $25,000/yr.

I'm saying the 4% rule is a safeguard against "running out of money" and/or try to preserve the corpus of the savings.

5% is the "real" number for cash/bond/cash equivalents over a 20-year period, unless your intention is to preserve the corpus.

I was not making any evaluation of "how much" $500k was in the grand scheme of things.
