That defers the gains, but does not eliminate them. When the loan comes due, they have to sell assets to pay it back.

Did you skip over the last paragraph?

If you can defer the repayment of the loan until after death, capital gains are eliminated.

In that case the value of asses are taxed via estate taxes. Which are higher than capital gains tax rates.
