>Everyone should be spreading their savings around different banks.

Depending on the country this will not save you. You can have it in N banks, and still get back up to a fixed X amount, because the amount is per person, not per account.

And this assumes people have "savings".

Most people outside of the 10% echo chamber live paycheck to paycheck.
