why debit cards do not enjoy the same protections against theft and fraud as credit cards?

Those protections are the main reason it’s recommend to use credit cards instead.

But it doesn’t make sense to me, why would I borrow money (credit) if I had it (debit)?

My guess is that banks deliberately do this so people can accidentally spend more money than they have and companies start charging interest.

I use my debit card for everyday purchases in my own country, because any transaction I do with it is free from any fees.

I do use my credit card if I am abroad to avoid the currency exchange fees.
