How is it a loophole when it was literally legally allowed, not even as a slight of hand.

Some loopholes are an accident. Some are intentionally put in place by parties interested in traveling through the loophole, benefiting from doing that, and then claiming they would be stupid not to do so.

Those cases are different, even though the legal status of them may be the same.

Loopholes are by definition legally allowed.
