Is Bitcoin not infinitely divisible though? So it would just be inflated by dividing infinitely. It's the same as having infinite amount the other way.

how is that the same? having more spots after the decimal is not the same as having more in front. cut an apple in half you don't have 2 apples, you have 2 halves. 21 million total bitcoin and breaking them apart is not the same as printing 5 trillion more dollars.
