Why even have term limits if that is okay?
No one has ever expected a former President to want to become a VP — a lower office.

We'll have to address it if it ever happens. I doubt we're the first to consider it happening, including the folks who drafted the amendment.
I don't really think you're that clever, no offense. Other humans can think of "what ifs" just the same as you.
There's probably a historical record of how they arrived at the language, if you care about that kind of thing.
It wasn't until the 25th amendment (which, you'll note, came after the 22nd) that the vice president was officially the successor to the presidency. So it would be weird for the 22nd to have a "what if" answer to something that wasn't yet itself law
