Regulations are what lead to private credit being what it is today. Post Dodd-Frank banks are unable to take on a lot of the lending risk with these style of transactions anymore which paved the way for asset managers to create the shadow banking system that exists today.

The lending risk is the same. It doesn’t really matter what color the rug has. Stop sweeping.
It's most certainly not the same. An asset manager going broke because they bought some bad loans is infinitely better off for the public at large than a bank becoming insolvent and depositors losing their money.
Then you'll find a new set of regulations on private credit at some point in the future.
