Well it's not only that though. It's that you'd pay say $1000 for the title insurance policy (on a million dollar home) and the HELOC sitting there unused is basically zero. Yes, you need some self-control and can't use that LOC "just because", but it's not the worst option. And really, this is a problem for houses that are free and clear, so it's a different demographic than just "anyone with a house".
