When we deposit money in a bank, we do so knowing that the bank owes us our money back plus interest and they are free to earn money using our money.

And when you open a margin account with a brokerage, you're acknowledging that you're willing to have your shares lent out. If you don't like that, you have the option of opening a cash account, from which shares cannot be borrowed.
