They prefer comparing the numbers to last year, which had the highest inflation numbers in 40 years despite decades of numbers fudging.

This allows them to have the lowest possible CPI in 2023, as the base they're comparing to is the highest.
If they had used the 21/22, the base would be lower hence the delta (inflation) would be higher.
