Not being able to discharge a debt in bankruptcy doesn't make the loan zero risk. Even if you can garnish someone's income there's no guarantee that they'll ever make enough money for that to repay the loan.

The risk also isn't the only thing that justifies interest. Why would they let you borrow some of their money if they weren't getting some benefit from doing so?
