It hasn't been that long yet, and inflation is already in double digits across Europe with no signs of stopping. While you personally might not be affected, I imagine this is a big problem for a lot of people as evidenced by all the protests. And the real effects of all this will likely be felt in spring when current energy reserves are projected to run out.
Other people living in Europe have shared their own experiences here, and their lives have been significantly affected by it already. So it is clear that my experience is not representative. I am not worried about my own living conditions this coming spring, but I also understand that I am privileged in many, many ways - and my perspective is much narrower than I would like.
