He benefits from this system so he is saying this to defend his interest.

What people should know is that interest rate is a function of many factors. If you cap it, how will the artificial price or interest rate account for the following; Cost of capital, loan loss provision, administrative cost of the facility, inflation and profit on the loaned fund.
