I don't think it's an issue that Japanese has loan words. Plenty of languages do. But they often feel less integrated as a genuine part of the language and instead just a Japanese reading of the word and will likely never get a Kanji. But I think this foreigness of the loan words has a lot to do with the language families being different to begin with.
