Renting is a trivial counter-example.

Which is specifically one reason why lending with interest is prohibited. You don't get to profit off of the need or misery of others. There's a power dynamic difference that Islam aims to make more even. We've already seen countless times how this ended up throughout history. And we're living it today.
I've always disliked this appeal to scholars in Islam because Islam likes to set itself apart claiming there is no pope or interpretive authority on the law of God and then any time a person has a disagreement they appeal to an authoritative priesthood class to stifle discussion on issues that matter. For a religion that bills itself as easy to understand by the common follower of the religion, deference to human beings as authorities are quite common.
The problem with rules against lending for profit is that you have no incentive to let anyone use what you have for their own benefit. If someone comes to me with an awesome business plan and wants some money, if I want to help them I am going to expect them to take the risk on their business plan rather than subject me to it.
