The trouble is that with unemployment it only affects a small percentage of the population and those people blame themselves (as long as it's not a 1930s-style depression), but with inflation everyone feels it every time they go to the shops. So in a democracy any policy that prefers inflation over unemployment is going to be deeply unpopular. (See also: Biden)
Currency depreciation is an interesting one though. It's like inflation on steroids, but very few people really feel it day to day.
