As far as I understand it inflation is an important tool that allows for redistribution of wealth to where it is needed in hard times. For example when a bank fails.
Then you can say that banks shouldn’t borrow out more money than they have, but that would reduce growth.
Then you can say growth is bad but growth doesn’t necessarily mean consuming more resources. It’s mainly needed for the system to sustain and adapt. For example to climate change.
Which ties in back nicely to Monero, as it uses proof of work which is a senseless waste of resources if you ask me.
Overall I just wish for a cli/api that works regardless of which payment provider you personally select.
