Are you suggesting they should give the cash away? That it should be confiscated from them and redistributed? What point, if any, are you making?

Monetary policy should be implemented to make those investment opportunities more attractive than holding half a trillion dollars on a commercial bank’s balance sheet. Negative interest rate policy comes to mind.

Central banks don’t confiscate your fiat, they use policy to strongly encourage desired behavior.
