Sorry i'll acknowledge that point. I misinterpreted one of the tech articles where it was stated as the first bond yield at such at low rate since 1980 as being the first bond issue full stop.

I think the point still stands as a whole though. When you see things such as "Of the $10 billion on offer, the $1 billion five-year tranche was issued at a coupon of 0.45%, the lowest coupon seen on a U.S. corporate bond at that maturity, according to Refinitiv data, which goes back to 1980." It's worth highlighting the rarity of these circumstances. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-alphabet-bonds/google-own...
