America has no history of devaluation. Why would that be a factor in the US economy?

While there were some supply line problems, they were generally brief.

A few areas (eg used cars) clearly were supply/demand mismatches. But food and energy had the sharpest inflation and their supply is more easily expandable.

With 2 years of corp earnings bragging about profit margins, it's pretty clear to me price gouging is the main driver
