Pension entitlement in divorce? why

Please someone make me understand why this makes sense or why it is a thing, what am I missing?

Why are pensions considered a joint asset in divorce? let's say I am in a marriage, I work , contribute my equal financial share to the home with a salary that has gone through deductions already(to my pension etc). I am all for equal contribution (chores/finances/child care and I have done it with my ex and it worked just fine and we both worked and paid equally except during maternity).

I am not for marriage on paper since I was a 13years old and saw my dad divorce his ex-wife and lost 1.5 million worth of assets in divorce after just 6 years of marriage.

But did he spend that money within the marriage instead? On bills, the home, holidays?

No. 50/50 household costs. He certainly wasn't ploughing his money into the home, holidays etc it was going on himself.
Genuinely shit people exist and unfortunately a law designed to protect women can cause those who are financially independent and future plan no end of problems.

Do you think there’s a fair solution?
