Nothing should be discharged in bankruptcy, period. It shouldn't exist. Anyone reckless enough to take on considerable debt should have the right to go before a judge and have the payments restructured if their life changes. And they should spend the next 100 years paying it all off if that's what it takes. One's right to walk away from their responsibilities is insane to me.

Slavery should not exist, either.

And lender should share some responsibility for bad loans, too.

Why should they have the right to have their payments restructured? Why does your argument for saying that discharge should not exist not also apply to why people should be held responsible for abiding by the original terms of the debt agreement?

What about limited liability companies and sovereign debt? Inherited debt? Should legal entities and descendants be forced to spend eternity paying off insurmountable amounts of money?

If death is the limit, then is disability too? Curious what you think.
