If all a company has to do is check the boxes of regulators (which they're good at) and now there is a guarantee that nothing else needs to be done since the bailout is all but explicit. You don't care as a customer. The business doesn't care since it's following the rules. And every decade or so we have a bailout.
Remember that these industries are heavily regulated. And those regulations are always insufficient. Triple A CDO-squared were treated to be as safe as cash according to regulations when they ended up being worth closer to 30 cents to the dollar
