Or, more pointedly, why should society fund programs for people that are essentially lifestyle or personal decisions?
You know the answer to this. I would 100% be in favour of loans that were only good for publicly-funded schools, but the best way to ensure a policy is unpopular is to not grant it to everyone (see: stimulus checks).
