People spend dollars even though the more the hold, the more interest they gain...

Fiat devalues over time...  You can invest fiat, but that's a whole different issue.

Yes, proof of stake incentivizes hoarding.

You could probably make a super volatile, ridiculous cryptocurrency by making it both entirely proof of stake and having the stake reward decrease over time a la bitcoin's PoW reward.
