Very naively here (and prob wrong in many aspects) but I expect those you are talking about to have leverage on these decisions unlike us (the lowly pleb); I don't expect a bank ceo choosing to take that giantic hit of a burden when it can just be pushed globally on the society. You could even argue that if a bank is able to do thay, they could do it anyday and not require a pandemic event.

Still, a stronger argument is that a bank is a business overall. They live out of debt. That kind of hit could also kill the bank I believe.
