If the companies are clearly creditworthy how come no one wants to lend them any money? It appears that whoever has the money doesn't think these companies are clearly creditworthy.

It's circular reasoning. Why aren't you buying stocks or bonds? Presumably because nobody is offering you a large amount of extra money to do so, like with a 0% loan. Everybody who can get cash or has cash wants to prepare for zombies.
