The price is intended to decrease. If people are losing money (causing the price to increase) at the same rate the price decreases that's on them.

No. Monero's tail emission rate was specifically chosen to be less than the rate of global gold production. Do you claim the price of gold is intended to decrease?

A continuous emission like Monero's doesn't equate to inflation/devaluation. It allows its userbase to expand organically, without artificial scarcity pumping its price.
