You keep asking the same question and the answer is the same in all these.

You don’t like it. We get it.

No one is doing anything illegal. If the bank thought a customer couldn’t pay, they’d get foreclosed, end of story.

It's not a matter of whether I like it. It's a question of why the bank, unless required to do so by some kind of absurd perverse regulatory incentive, would do something which is not only harming others but also increasing the default risk for the bank by reducing the income of a borrower who, if they can't make the payments, will cause the bank to have to write off millions of dollars by foreclosing on an underwater building.
