Every action is an attempt to stimulate positive economic activity by increasing liquidity and decreasing volatility. Despite the various descriptions that can be used they all essentially create money, causing inflation, which incentivizes not holding on to money.

In theory this affects all equally but in practice and in agreement with recent memory, losing X% of a small amount to inflation or wage stagnation (i.e. what you or I experience) is more negatively impactful than a large player losing that same relative amount.
