I feel the same. The convenience will likely outweigh the security concerns in the not too distant future.

What I would like is some middle step - that instead of allowing open access to accounts, I get to choose how the data is summarised and presented. e.g. just show total income and outgoings, fortnightly, over the last 6 months. Things like that.

Yes, I could export the transactions, do some Excel hand waving and make a report, then make a PDF and send it, then they would do data entry into their system summarising what they read. But automating that data sharing step would be fantastic.

I am in the process of applying for a home loan at the moment, and the amount of documentation is significant. If I were able to automate 80% of it in a fairly anonymised data way, that would be really useful.
