Why did companies get bailouts during the 2008 global financial crash?

Didn’t some of these companies cause the crash? Or at least help it. Feels kind of unfair that they get off scot-free.

What would have happened if the government didn’t bail them out? Would we ever recover?

I believe the bailouts weren’t free money, more like loans.

The companies had to eventually pay back to the government with interest.
