I think it's a somewhat moot comparison, as Bitcoin does just about none of what traditional finance actually does, particularly on the "human" side of things.

Yeah, good point. It's really impossible to disentangle the costs of traditional finance operations analogous to bitcoin from other costs of traditional finance. The comparison would not be perfect, bit I still feel like it would be a useful insight to get a sense of scale.
