Monero has half of golds inflation only ever to go down from here, trending against 0 without ever reaching it. It's a trade off Bitcoin OGs that created Monero were willing to make to have a security budget guarantee at the absence of an established fee market. As they knew Bitcoin already covered the finite supply niche they could choose different trade-offs and sacrificed the number one selling point.

Not because they are (dis)inflation lovers. No, because they argumented that it would create a more stable long term outcome.
