??? "All" it incentivizes? Uh, no. The vast majority of people don't treat their salaries as an investment opportunity, they have to live off it. If you need to fix your water heater, you might get it fixed now while inflation is high than wait until winter (not a great example given the time scales involved, but it gets the point across). Even if you have nothing that you desperately need, if inflation is really high you might blow it on something frivolous because if you try saving it it won't be worth anything in one or two year's time.
Inflation doesn't push people towards non-devaluating assets, it pushes people to get rid of currency by any means they have available.

OBVIOUSLY if you absolutely HAVE to spend money because your life depends on it (ex: hot water) then you're going to be incentivized to spend it sooner rather than later in an inflationary market.
I'm referring to discretionary spending. Eating out. Buying a new laptop. Traveling. Etc.
This statement: "it pushes people to get rid of currency by any means they have available." is just flat out wrong. If you're draining your bank accounts on discretionary purchases right now, that's your mistake.
I would include retiring before you absolutely have to as "discretionary". Now is not the time to make a decision like that, when the alternative is a smarter financial decision (work, save, invest in assets that aren't devaluing at the same rate as currency).
It's not flat out wrong. If the means you have available include investing, you might do that. If they don't, you're still better off spending it on something not strictly necessary now that you're able to than saving it to have its purchasing power be eaten away by inflation.
