That's definitely true.
And people probably do care more about the Consumer Price Index more than inflation, for good reason. So it's partially that it's unexpected and also that prices are genuinely much, much higher than is ideal right now.

(And I'll happily give charity for the trend line, particularly since its limitations were given in advance!)
