I believe it is because you pay interest in future and the nominal rates are projected into the future (10 year, 30 year, whatever). Hence, if you expect future inflation to be high, you are going to charge more for loans.

Rationale investors act to maximize the present value of
wealth by balancing consumption and investment
patterns. Their allocations are steered by
the expected real rate of interest. Past inflation rates
are meaningless. The expected real rate of interest over the
investment horizon is a function of expected inflation
which is embedded in the nominal rate.
