but the rates themselves aren't the main thing that matters; they were just a short for "easy money flowing into the system". If the let it flow but keep the rates up as a facade, that doesn't change the easy money and hence plays into the bitcoin thesis...

I do not disagree that it still plays into the BTC thesis. I do think it is different for the general economy though. Bailouts and QE are still more selective than ZIRP. ZIRP finds it’s way into every nook and cranny.
