A lot of companies (and the jobs those companies created) were built on top of that usury and the workers who lent out their money were even compensated for that!

That doesn't justify the immorality of engaging in usury, it's like saying whaling is banned, but there are people who need to feed their families - we already know that.

A superior and not immoral model is investing in said companies, so if they succeed both the investors and company owners profit, otherwise they both lose. It's proper risk sharing.
