If I understand correctly, only some Russian banks are being removed from SWIFT, so OP wonders why can't they can't all just funnel transactions through the ones that are still connected (I guess it opens those banks up to being sanctioned too?)

When that happens, that bank will be added to the list. At some point, banks not on the list may not be willing to allow money to be passed through them (or they may restrict the flows to a very small amount). It’ll be a game of cat and mouse now
