This should give you some more information about confidential transactions in Monero (which are one of a few parts involved).

This should put your mind at ease about an inflation bug (if you actually read it, congratulations, you're ahead of 99% of the maxis).
As for the part about "forcing" a hard fork, sorry bur that's nonsense.
First of all, there is just as much if not more deliberation (in some ways, the stakes are higher, because it's a more complex system), but you're an outsider and you're imposing your own biases and preconception and not realizing this is what's happening.
And second, understand that the culture is different. Monero users, node operators, etc, all expected the hard forks, and wanted them, and were ok with it.
If you put bias aside, you'll be able to see that both approaches (very conservative + takes forever Bitcoin vs yolo hardfork every 6 months up to a year or two ago) are correct - bitcoin's for bitcoin, monero's for monero.
Also, and to finish, I gotta say you also made an assumption that is very common with Bitcoiners as they exist today. You assume an us-vs-them mentality.
Let me tell you, most Monero people I know are also Bitcoiners - not just that, they have been Bitcoiners for far longer than most Bitcoiners (who think they've found the holy grail or something & are smarter than everyone else (according to themselves)) have been Bitcoiners.
Why? They/we USED Bitcoin since the beginning, and understood that as it exists today it's a surveillance machinen and not at all fungible on L1.
So in general Monero people are much better informed about Bitcoin than rabid Bitcoiners who only see one shade of orange are about Monero.
Something to keep in mind.
