Yeah, from this chart alone in ether scan https://etherscan.io/chart/ethersupplygrowth pretty obvious ETH is still increasing its supply consistently.

An increase of 0.51% doesn't mean supply is increasing much but it also means that there is no reduction in huge amount of ethereums that are in circulation. There are 120 million etherum coins in circulation and this annual increase will kill one of core objectives of switching to PoS which is to reduce the number of Ethereum coins in circulation.
People are too fixated on the small total supply increase meanwhile the promise was deflation and deflation means negative total supply growth.

Which means even if total supply doesn't grow at all and stay at 0% its already bad enough.
