Rates are lower on margin loan, and they’re easier to get compared to a proper mortgage (assuming, you know, you have value assets to borrow against)

Rates might be lower but they're not usually fixed. They're easier to get assuming your liquidity is in equities versus crypto or even a stable income. There's a reason mortgage financing is still more prevalent than margin loans despite what you've stated which are inherent benefits.
You say a bank loans money to someone who owns a certain house, but not to someone who uses the money to buy the exact same house?
