But everyone alive today and actively playing has access to the same
improvement. Wouldn't everyone have improved equally? If so, there shouldn't be
any rating inflation.

Sure a 2600 of today would beat up a 2600 player in 1970, but it wouldn't make
it easier for a player to reach say Fischer's 2785.

Since he would be competeing with players who has the same preparation.Assuming
the talent pool is the same of course.
