How applicable is that today? QE has tanked rate of return on bonds/savings accounts to below inflation. In many european countries interest rates on savings accounts are zero or even negative.

We haven’t seen sustained inflation in a long time.

If inflation is sustained at a high rate, expect to see interest rates on T-bills (and hence also savings accounts) soar as well.
