You essentially just said "I have money to borrow money against".
If you had an account with $100k and can borrow up to $70k against it, that isn't really taking out a loan as it is just borrowing your own money.
Your argument essentially boils down to "just don't be poor". The people who need credit and to borrow money are those who don't have the collateral to spend it otherwise.
You're just essentially advocating for what rich people like Elon musk do. Take out loans against their stocks so they don't actually have to liquidate their stocks to get usable cash.
