Inflation is harsh in Germany, it was only 9 EUR in August.

This is not in any way related to inflation. It was 9 Euros from June to August in summer because it was meant as a one off. But the ticket was so popular that it was decided to have the ticket long-term. For financing the ticket for years you simply need a more realistic price.

For June, July and August, to help stimulate economic recovery from COVID Germany had a 9 Euro ticket for a month, for all local public transport and all local and regional trains, the same validity as this one.

They operated under loss during that time and got subsidized IIRC This is not the result of inflation.

Yes. Short and medium distance is a bit misleading. It means that you can take any public transportation up to regional trains. You can get trough the whole nation with it (it just takes longer than long-distance trains).
