I hear what you're saying about Japanese people not complaining as much, but I don't think it's just that. The only time they complain about 円安 is when they go abroad, which isn't very often.

The problem is a lot more noticeable for foreigners living in Japan temporarily because they don't think of their worth in the local currency. They then generalize their problems to the rest of the population.

When you think of your money in dollars, and you see it going down a lot, it looks like a life or death crisis. But the average person in Japan sees prices go up a bit, which is frustrating, but not to the same degree.
