Loopholes are the definition of playing by the rules.

Laws are not enacted in spirit, they are drafted, voted on, and enacted in text. What the law says is what matters, not what people assume it wants to achieve.

To claim that complying with the law exactly as it is written is unfair is, quite frankly, undemocratic and an outright rejection of the rule of law.

No, criticising the laws for being written in such a way that allow loophole behavior is not undemocratic. In any reasonable democracy you're allowed to criticise laws however much you please
