You are absolutely correct: there will eventually be an adjustment. But RIGHT NOW I guarantee you that the best deals in Argentina for foreign visitors are from merchants pricing in pesos. And it's pretty easy to understand why.

FWIW, in Patagonia, the difference right now can be pretty shocking. A really bad time to be planning luxury travel geared toward foreigners. You have to go where at least some locals go.
