Giving the business the money means the employees will also get the money. However, this also means their jobs won't become obsolete, their daily routines aren't disrupted, they are not just staying home, umemployeed because the company they work for has filed for bankruptcy due to drastically reduced business in 2020.
Can you imagine what a paying job does to a person's confidence? Especially if he's got 3 kids to feed and a mortgage to pay?
It's easy to keep feeding a homeless, but much harder to convince him to work for his keep.
Your way will breed more homeless, where as the PPP program helps to keep these people employeed.
Big difference.
Even after you discount the possible waste and corruption.
