if you are poor and cannot afford anything then yes, you go bankrupt and good luck with getting a credit for an icecream.

But otherwise you use bankruptcy as a bargain card. Because nither side wants to go there.

I don't think they were saying to actually go bankrupt, just to threaten the bank with the possibility of getting nothing out of you.
