That's fine of course but it isn't retiring.

Well think of it this way then. If you love your career/job that much should you be at the mercy of your employer? When you reach the point where investment income >= living expenses, you can tell your employer to f-off at any point. I'm not trying to imply that that will be your attitude, but your whole outlook can change regarding your career which will really let you enjoy it that much more.
You take more risk, only accept work within your chosen career that you want, you can take a sabbatical, take a year off to further your education in your chosen career and so on. Opportunity and your own power grow within your chosen career.
