If a loanee makes mistakes, he'll get dropped whereas if he's your player, you'll give him more chances.

People like Sancho, Oxford have gone abroad to Germany etc to play. The only top 6 side I'd consider going to is Spurs, as Pochettino will give you a chance, especially given they have a smallish squad.
Chelsea buy up and loan out loads of talented youngsters , sure very few of them ultimately play for the Chelsea first team, but enough of them end up playing at a very high level for them to be doing something right.
I'm sure that none of the kids at man city expect to be rushing into the first team, possibly at all, but that doesn't mean it is a bad move for their career
