"This policy, however unpopular with some, is better than the available alternatives. Keynes even had a phrase for it – the “euthanasia of the rentier”. In a world of abundant savings, the available returns ought to be low; this is a consequence of market forces to which central banks are responding."
It would be consistent with a story that said with large blocks of inherited wealth seeking investment returns, the returns may fall; it would not counter the accusation that larger blocks of wealth have attractive investment opportunities that are not open to most.
