Why do proof of work systems ramp up the difficulty of hash solving while keeping latency constant, instead of keeping difficulty constant while nodes compete to reduce latency? The later seems more useful, and not inflationary.

You said the point of pow is only to keep latency high which is incorrect. You could reduce the block interval & adjust the issuance per block to suit but there is a lower bound. Below that bound, block propagation takes longer than the interval which causes liveness issues.
