The flaw with this counter argument is it assumes these critics have an appreciation for rules-based order or decentralized consensus. When they raise questions about a change to the 21m hard cap, they aren't even informed enough to be suggesting a change to the underlying code. They are used to a fiat system, where "reality" is dictated by verbal decree from a centralized authority. These people think one day Satoshi will resurface and decree (by fiat) that there are now 50 million bitcoin.
