Physical assets generally lose "real" value on their own too, because they degrade or need maintenance. The asset prices might go up but if you sell them to buy other stuff, that other stuff also went up in price (probably higher).
However, high enough inflation does benefit people who borrowed tons of money to hoard more physical assets than they can afford.

The trouble with relying on RSUs for comp is that when the fed raises rates to fight inflation, it ensures your total comp doesn't keep up with inflation.
