Ok, but its archaic status as immoral does not make it a "scam" today.

It's a scam because it's literally free money for the lender. They do no work, they generate no value, but they still get paid.

Providing someone else money for a time to use for whatever purpose they desire is of no value? I think that literally most every person on the planet would disagree with you. Are you saying you've never borrowed money for anything, ever?
