I agree, and I think this is the largest problem in BTC.

If the creators had predicted its explosive growth, they would have chosen a faster rate of reward halving, more quickly bringing the transaction fees in line with the externalities.

Perhaps someone could create a "Bitcoin Green" fork which would simply speed up the reward halving to once a year instead of once every 4 years, since by now, everyone has heard of Bitcoin, and only large specialized operations can mine it profitably (thus the reason for its inflation has disappeared).
