That's not true, you can definitely do this with a smart contract blockchain like Ethereum, and there are plenty of loan protocols already that do this in production with $ billions in assets transacted.

No one can steal your ETH from your wallet, but they can liquidate your staked collateral held by the smart contract.

If the collateral is "held by a smart contract" it means your buying power hasn't changed and you haven't financed anything.
