Central banks buying up all the bad debt every time there is a crisis creates a massive moral hazard.

Basically the best business model is to rack off the most garbage debt possible then wait for the next crisis and let the central banks eat all the risk.

This is a deliberately obtuse take by the Telegraph. Central banks are literally empowered to create or destroy money; the profits and losses they themselves make are accounting fictions.

I suppose taxing it back hasn't crossed their minds. It's not like they print money to bury it in a hole. It just ends up in the hands of a few people who can afford to inflate prices.
