 Saddens me as a privacy advocate.

I've seen theories it has an inflation bug but I think the simpler explanation is that people don't value privacy.

 You can use the exact same argument for using Monero as a spending tool if you're scared about it's price

 I think even simpler explanation is that it's not on exchanges and so people don't crazy ape into it.

Also if you are using it only as a privacy proxy on top of your bitcoin, then you generally don't need to care about the price.
