This is what I'm saying. The banks are more than happy to pay fines and add regulations to their practices because they don't want the government to shut them down. Coinbase will be no different. They make too much money to have any principals around standing up for a "Permissionless and Decentralized financial system"

What? Banks lobby heavily against regulation and their lobbyists write the regulations that do exist. They also often commit crimes themselves, are accessories to others, and work in grey areas. This seems well known.
