I hear you on this. The 1/second emission forever took me a while to get used to. Not sure I ever did. The Grin argument was that predictability is the key. No one can suddenly go full printer press Keynesian stimulus and flood the supply. True, but that constant drip drip drip every second, forever, has its own effect. Not to mention the psychological effect. People know that "this is how it is and thus is how it will be". With bitcoin there's the psychological that every day we're tightening, it's becoming harder money constantly.
Grin actually had its first big war over this. As I recall, the first fork was one called BitGrin. To be honest, I liked it better in concept. It was exactly Grin but with bitcoins 21M and emission and block rewards. Just Bitcoin with Grin's Mimblewimble.
Of course, it turned out to be a rug though! The main dev (an anon) might have minted an extra 5 billion coins. As I recall he gave some explanation of something. Suddenly disappeared and that was that.
