Thank goodness they’re forced to be a little less reckless with our money so they can still make disproportionate profits off our savings. I am more than happy

  When a bank complains about the onerous, expensive or excessive costs associated with risk management and compliance, what they're really saying is: "If it wasn't for that pesky government, we'd more than happily take more risks with -your- money!"

    That's both true and not true. So sure, banks want to take more risks with your money. But if you start to understand the web of banking regulations, you'll see that there are multiple different groups with oversight, each with different goals and different regulatory frameworks. It's extremely difficult to maintain compliance and the complexity is a problem for a number of reasons, including the fact that a lot of the regulations are legacies of a time before interstate banking.
