The only thing tail emission does is potentially dilute the coin supply into oblivion and suppress the price.
There will be less than 34 million XMR in 2100.Barring revolutionary life-extension technologies I won't see the supply double from where its now.
Monero is extremely scarce.

It was difficult enough to made the prudent adjustment to the social contract required to ensure a adequate block reward in perpetuity when the size of the community of contributors what's much smaller. Attempting to reverse that prudent action would both be imprudent and highly unlikely given the difficulties of quorum size that would exist today. Moreover the conception of the problem is entirely erroneous since the rate of growth is both less than that of gold supply and very likely on par with the rate of random loss.
The smooth evolution of the six-month development heartbeat that we have experienced to date is largely attributable to the fact that the changes being implemented at each step are so obviously beneficial and non-controversial. Any change in the tail emission now would be a gross disruption of the social contract and inevitably lead to the kind of forking traumas that we see in less well-managed coins.
I perceive our new quote-unquote friend kwukduck to be a social saboteur, perhaps a foolish short speculator who has sould at what is likely to be the lowest price of all pending futurity.
Spoken far more elegantly than I ever could as usual.
