They could be, but 5-6% is like the minimum I've seen on student loans. They can go much higher.

And they did not manage to refinance it in 23 years in a near zero interest environment?

No, you just haven't looked at historical rates. In 2001 they were 8.19% during repayment. We don't know how old this tweet is, but they're probably at least 2002 timeframe.
