I don't think the difference between a guaranteed annuity and a lump sum is the main blocker here, those tend to be relatively interchangeable (at the appropriate interest/return). The part I'm more interested in is the insurance aspect. As mentioned, disability insurance is a part of it, and an emergency fund is another part for short-term changes in income. But even with both of these in place, the remaining risk means that eg my effective buying/renting power for a house is significantly diminished.
Note that income share agreements already exist for student loans. They're not so widely used and have their own issues, but it's also a much harder market than people who are already confirmed to be able to take in high earnings.
