The lack of support goes back quite a ways. For instance, it's easy to find loan interest rates in advertising or news or official reports. It's almost impossible to find savings account interest rates. Nobody advertises them, and they aren't even in BLS reports or banking trade journals from the past. My best guess is from incidental mentions in old radio programs, implying that 4% was typical.

We’re a family of 5 living in a 2bed1bath house in the US. So many people ask us why we won’t move into a bigger house. We just remodeled in 2020 and made our house so sleek & put thought/love into every decision. This house is now exactly how we want it (no cabinets & easy to clean) and people can’t understand how we just decide to live here because it’s “small”. It bothered me for a while when people would make comments about it but now I follow up with, “well it’s a good thing we’re not inviting you to live here!” 🤣
