Don’t forget that you also can invest in negative dollar by taking loans. Then, the reduction of purchasing power does actually benefit you.

So, whoever has significant wealth will do exactly this and take out loans to purchase productive assets and then, later on, pay back much less because the dollar lost value in the mean time.

This works out as long as the interest rate is lower then the actual annual loss in purchasing power.
