7% is less than inflation so the real debt actually decreased

Sadly that's not how it works for the average household. Unless average household earnings go up, inflation hurts as many household debts are variable rates.
In my opinion that average household is still a winner in long term as eventually rates will drop, average earnings will go up and the loan will already be devalued.
