There is effectively no reward for the rich to make this technology broadly available. There's every incentive to keep their workforces and consumers ignorant and short-lived.
This was also the attitude in the 1700s and 1800s there were several revolutionary wars to fix it.
Anti-aging treatments won't stop bullets.
I think it might make things more egalitarian. A hard working genius born to poverty only has 80 years to work their way into the upper echelons. Removing senescence means such people will have more time to rise to elite positions and demonstrate track records of competence and merit.

Social Darwinism? You can do it today, just stop providing medical care for the poor... wait, this is already happening in the US.

What about reduced training costs because you can keep your existing expert staff instead of needing to constantly hire fresh but clueless youngsters?
