      Because the people and organizations with the capital to loan out millions of dollars for house purchases are the ones who make the rules.

      What is your proposed alternative system? All of this is just an interest rate applied to an outstanding balance. Many less people would own a house without such an option.

        Yeah my parents are vehemently against borrowing money except for a mortgage. Otherwise, how will you save several hundred thousand dollars or more to buy a house in full? Most people can’t do that, even over decades.
