I guess the answer is no, since debit card can only be used at ATM,
an alternate solution may be using a money transfer to your (after creating one ofc) paypal account and then purchase anythings using your paypal fund

ps : paypal allow direct debit to your bank account once your paypal account is properly identified to your ID

This is not correct.

Just one example for your reference:

You can add your credit card, debit card, bank account, PayPal account, or mobile phone as a new payment method for your Microsoft account. The payment method will then show up as an option during the checkout step for your next Microsoft Store online purchase.

Note: Not all payment methods are supported in all regions.

Maybe this is correct in your country, but throughout Europe and the USA (including the MSFS Store) debit cards can be used in precisely the same places as credit cards.

Well, I have been reminiscing about my experiences in online buying in the years 2000 when I was under 18 years old and only had a debit card.

I personally would never use a debit card to buy one thing, the potential for it to be hacked is very high. Go to the grocery store and buy a prepaid Visa or American Express Credit card, and use that. Simple.
