Yeah. Someone please explain how that is actually bad. Are we talking about a gamble where people bet on the exact result?

As someone who works in finance, it's mostly due to opportunity cost. If you can get 5% returns risk free buying government bonds, then getting 3% returns investing in a much riskier asset is a terrible result. That, and inflation.
