Should there be/is there price inflation for DVC rentals?

Yes, a bit crazy, but not really when you consider that the rack rate for those reservations might be $35+ per point. There's also a limited supply on these, so for example, if you want to stay at GF the week of Christmas in 2026, you are highly unlikely to be able to get that, even for $25 per point. At a certain point, you will not be able to get it at any price because it will be fully booked and sold out.

These are just rando reservations at WDW next September

That's not been my experience with what I believe is the sponsor of the board. Unless you of course you're talking about only reservations greater than 7 months at certain select properties.

It’s very easy to just go to their website and look — which is what I did for the headline price pp and also for what they have confirmed reservations for.

I bet it was Beach Club, which is hard to get regardless of season, so a confirmed reservation there would still be high demand. It's also worth noting that the price per point is likely to go up in seasons when the point chart is lower. Since September is the lowest season, it has the largest natural delta between point cost and rack rate. Rack rates seem to be less seasonally driven, or at least, they don't move by as much as point charts do for September.
