IME people don't worry too much about 2FA/really secure passwds until they're protecting something they think is valuable. I didn't 2fa my github account for a long long time, despite the ease of use, until I got added to some big projects.
Likewise, the average bank member is (speculating here) gonna say, "who wants to steal that $75 in my checking account? not worth it". But an account breach could end up costing a lot more than $75, especially to the bank who has to file insurance claims and do the paperwork, and ofc the time lost to the person who only had $75 to begin with.
What I'm trying to say is (I think) that the cost of a bank account breach is hard to measure, because there are a ton of marginal costs associated with it. Locking your credit reports, getting new bank accounts, changing all your autopays, possibly bouncing checks or autopays not going through, filing police reports, filling out claims paperwork, following up on all that, unlocking your credit next time you want to buy a car, etc. Lots and lots of marginal costs in terms of fees and your time.
