It's a naive approach, and also honestly, in my personal experience with banking software, these rules are not selected through some careful secops research, but are usually arbitrary picked to sound smart to managers and be easy enough to implement by devs. Bad passwords should be addressed specifically, because having "ijk" or "777" somewhere in you 40chars long random sequence is not really a vulnerability. On the other there are many bad passwords that are not made of sequential numbers, say "qwerty" or "asdfghjkl" or "sunshine". There're so many data dumps these days that it's easy to create a blacklist of popular passwords and block it, without giving headaches to users with password managers just because their safe random password happens to have a wrong number of these or those chars.
