> taboo against lending friends or family members money for any reason.

It's less taboo than years of hearing stories of ended family relationships where money was loaned and then abused, mishandled, wasted, etc without any intention of paying it back. I've heard these types of stories my entire life.

Yeah, money is the number one reason marriages break up, and I have seen the same happen to siblings.
