<<stocks historic annual rate of return of about 10% >>

There is no such law/rule - it is just a current numeric value, that changes every few years. Was 7% in 1982.

There is a rule: inflation + dividend return, in the very very long run. That's for US. In other countries returns were often lower than that.
