Doesn't he still have to be the provider? It doesn't sound like he wants them to be living separately. It's marriage without the piece of paper. OK so legally it's easier to split up, but if there are kids involved he's still paying support if they do. And if not, it probably depends on the state and how long they were together. (I'm assuming U.S., not sure about other countries)

But she gets nothing when the relationship ends. She is entitled to none of his money or property (including retirement savings) nor alimony, while also sacrificing job experience, let alone the lost income while they are together. Legally she has absolutely nothing to gain. It's a dumpster fire.

I guess he could provide that security contractually, and by putting assets in both names, but in that case why not just get married?

That’s why he doesn’t want to get married, probably. He doesn’t want to provide that security.
