A little known fact is that ETH's maximum theoretical inflation rate decreases over time as it's a function of the total supply. As total supply increases, the maximum theoretical inflation rate decreases. At 120.5M ETH, it is 1.65%. At 220M, it is 1.22%.

Note this is a theoretical maximum, in the event that:

X. XXX% of ETH is staked
X. The amount of ETH burned from the EIP-1559 base fee is zero, due to very low onchain congestion

In practice that has meant that ETH's inflation rate is often below XXX% and sometimes even negative.

If Ethereum successfully executes on the development roadmap and sees growing adoption, then it will also experience growing ETH burn from EIP-1559. So, combined with the gradually decreasing issuance rate, it will see growing deflationary pressures.
