Everyone is increasing prices in Europe. Inflation in the UK is crazy. I'm standing in my local coffee place and a basic Americano went up £0.50 overnight

It's crazy and a lot of gouging is happening (not so much these smaller companies. They do have it tough. The owner does drive an expensive BMW though)

Yes but payment processors generally take fees as a share of transactions. That naturally shields them for inflation.

Raising their percentage fees is just a naked cash grab.

I wasn't attempting to justify it. The opposite.
