The reality where people cannot afford $10-20 things. And the corporations just start charging those poor people interest.

Of course. How else do you keep poor people poor and rich richer.

Poor people: charge them extra for not affording things.

Rich people: let them buy things they don't need but can afford and then charge poor people to rent those things.

Rich people: just give them expensive stuff in the hopes that they'll buy more expensive stuff from you later.
