Yes but that's not what they're discussing, it's about the sites that have some low limit like 8-16 characters.
And if someone knows why banks are specially prone to having crapshit password requirements... Flashback to my french bank that had a password that needed to be exactly 8 digits, no letters or other, and that you could only type by clicking on a digital numpad that had the numbers randomly sorted.

In the end, a lot of these banking systems are connected back to mainframe systems with a LOT of legacy cruft that nobody has the nerve to actually update. It may not even be hashed or encrypted, which is part of why banks also add a second factor/cookie, though the implementation could/should be better.
