Because the human animal is infinitely clever and power relations ever fluid.
"Money" created by private banking is destroyed on a loan's repayment, but leaves in its wake an obligation, a DEBT of interest charge, an abomination MMTers refuse to face.
Usury (any interest) had been condemned after the Axial Age for reason.
Usury is simply profit specific to the rent of money. The concepts of debt and of profit (interest) are the social cancer.
