They are annuity salesmen selling high commission products. The only person an annuity makes sense for is a compulsive gambler who will go through all their money unless it is tied up where they can get at it. Or someone who knows for a fact that they will far outlive the actuarial tables for their current age. And the biggest downside is your investment money is now tied to a single insurance company. Zero diversification.
