Is it though?

I work on an adjacent industry.

Lenders lend money, that's how they make money.

If you've got savings and a steady job and can offer something a house as security they're gonna lend you the money to buy thay house, even if you don't have a score.

The score as a number, and the concept of building your credit score, is really just something bankers tell you when they're trying to get you to take a credit card.
