It would be dangerous to directly change the inflation on Hive since there is a credibility issue.
There should be a concentrated effort to come up with ways of making the return on HP higher, but not from inflation. We should look to other mechanisms like Leofinance is doing with Leo Power.

When there is lesser hive staked, inflation automatically increases as there is lesser competition in the reward pool. So I guess more inflation generated from less competition in the reward pool will lead to higher apr

That is for curation and posting. But that isnt an increase in the inflation since there is still the same amount in the reward pool.
So yes your return could be greater if there is less Hive powered up.
