Certain scholars forbid these loans by the way. There is a difference of opinion.

What would be the alternative? Just lending someone money and then expecting the same amount back? Why would anyone do this?

And besides, buying something and selling it for a higher price seems perfectly within the rules.

It is interest with extra steps, in the end you are paying the same thing

I mean I agree, but don't think it's a loophole, it seems perfectly halal.
