Is it a case of banks' customers not being who you think they are?

  You're probably right. Maybe it would be nice that there was a bank where the customers were us salarymen. OTOH they probably already exist - there are lots of pseudo-bank financial institutions over here (basically lending co-ops) with very flexible working hours, and awfully big interest rates, but they only provide some of the bank's services (short-term lending at those abusive rates mostly), you don't get stuff like mortgages, car buying credits, savings accounts, or investment opportunities (even though they might make a great place to get good interest since they're lending money at such a big interest rate).
