There’s a lot of pitfalls measuring inflation in general especially when you add tech to the mix.
Technology is known to be deflationary; getting faster and cheaper over time.
This is how some fast food prices have been mostly staying the same; though even here you sometimes see shrinkflation.
It’s unfortunate that there’s so much politics around the inflation numbers, things that are deflationary are deliberately used to reduce the inflation numbers.
If something is too inflationary it either stops being measured or new ways of measuring are introduced that reduces the numbers.
