I think a lot of company owners and banks would argue that. Elon Musk keeps tweeting the fed should lower interest rates even though inflation has barely budged. If you are borrowing money or have money tied to interest rates, free money is better. Inflation has barely any impact on Elon Musk but a few percentage point increase in interest rates has a huge impact on him.
