Banks are not obliged to open accounts to everyone. So there are people who can't use banks, even if they want to.

You must accept plenty of agreements between bank and you, and there are only so many banks, so it's very possible for some people to find bank terms to be unacceptable for them.

Right now those people have cash as an alternative. Making it illegal removes some freedom from those people.
