Well what I'm saying is that it doesn't have to be the internal database. It can be a completely decentralised system. I send you $50 and you open an app and just walk up to the first money guy that you see on the street. Why do we need physical banks?

What do you mean by a "money guy" on the street?
Regulatory capture. Your money guys would each need a money transmitter license which costs millions to obtain.
