To a mathmatician/physicist it is monotonic because they will force us
to acknowledge the mismatch (albeit small) in masses/springs etc
together with the effect of friction.
The engineers will see it as constant velocity.

Nifty physics demo:
Two carts are connected together on an air track with a spring.
Under bright lights you can see the coupled oscillation of the
carts back and forth, but under black lights you can see that the
center of mass moves at a constant velocity.
