this is an insurance
no one can be guaranteed to collect the benefits
just like you buy auto insurance and never have an accident in your life
would anyone thank you for your "donation"?

That's a bit of a difference.
For car insurance, one would not want to utilize it unless that day comes...
But for OAS, one cannot stop thinking about it when you go pass 60... OAS is more like a benefit, those who do not contribute (paying tax) would still benefit from it...
