Yes, it is a trade off though. You either need either high tx fees (worse MoE) OR a block subsidy (worse SoV) to secure future mining. That is just the nature of blockchains. In contrast to the real world, if everyone stopped mining gold today, gold wouldnt disappear.

And what makes fiat inflation terrible is it is unpredictable and massive.

Tail emissions is predictable and very small.

But I know any inflation whatsoever is anathema to BTCers. I can't really blame them though after a century of fiat inflation.
