You're talking about Bitcoin specifically here. Look at the decentralized finance space currently emerging around Ethereum where smart contracts are used to construct similar debt-based constructs that we have in the traditional economy.

Bitcoin maximalists who don't agree with debt-based economy are obviously not happy about this. To better understand that point of view, The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous is a great read, whether you will agree with it or not.
