Without deposits they don’t have money to loan and they are no bank at all.

Banks don't loan deposits.

Right. You don't own the deposited money, the banks own it and you have a share of the bank's value. When you deposit money, you get an IOU. If the bank runs into trouble, the FDIC may cover you to a certain extent but a promise is, just a promise until you're made whole.
