I think that there is misconceptions on what most people think as "bailouts". I think what a lot mean is that the usgov should just buy up all the deposit assets, and fund out the money, since its fairly certain that the assets are pretty close to deposits, but just wont mature for a long time, and in turn the bank is still dead, no more SVB.

A true, "bailout" would basically be that the bank survives, they are given moneys to make it through and then all the workers/deposits are screwed. ie. 2008

Right, they should bail out the depositors, not the bank. The bank doesn't deserve to exist anymore.
