Indentation of text inside inlinetasks is intentionally the same with
the parent task. Inlinetasks are not considered headings. Rather a
special kind of paragraph.
For many years, Org is deliberately indenting text inside inlinetasks as
in the screenshot:
I say deliberate because there is a commit introducing exactly this
behaviour:

org-indent: Fix indentation in inline tasks
* lisp/org-indent.el (org-indent-add-properties): Indent inline tasks'
contents according to current outline level, not inlinetask's. This
is consistent with hard indentation, using `org-indent-line'.
If others think that this default should be changed, they are free to
jump into the discussion.
Best,
Ihor
