Why is it immoral to want to be paid for use of my money?

When I wanted a new car, I preferred to have the car sooner and pay someone to use the spare capital they had available, than to make do with a car that didn't serve my needs until I saved up enough for an outright purchase.

There's no moral content here. It's just consenting adults with different preferences interacting with each other.

We’re not arguing the morality of loans, you’re right, there’s no moral content.

We’re arguing the morality of usury, aka charging interest on loans, and it is immoral.
