it’s mathematically impossible for any long term investment vehicle to payout more than inflation, unless you get lucky and happen to hit the Apple stock.

Sorry but by that logic there is no point in any investment mechanism. Historically GIC rates have been the oposite of what you claim www.ratehub.ca/blog/the-history-of-gic-rates/ . For example in 1995 GICs paid 7.1% vs the inflation rate of 1.7%.
I think the odd position that it is “mathematically” impossible to have any expectation of return is indicative of our messed up system.
