Probably not but if they granted buyers with no income 0% interest for 20 years then yeah? Sales would grow through the roof. iow it can be essentially fraudulent, depending on the quality of the loans.

If they’re doing it at the scale of subsidizing or offering favorable credit to businesses, like rental car fleets?

Sure, that’s a comparison.
