Comparing Graffiti with Bank robbery is crazy.

Its Art.

I would like to understand why people take offense in it - especially if done on places that are so non-important.

Because at best it is ugly. On average you are defacing someone's property and worst case you are causing serious economic damage to someone.

It's a reason it is a crime, although sadly it doesn't seem to be really enforced or punished, given the prevalence.

It’s a coping mechanism for youth culture. Your distain has already lost

Some of it can be art, but 99.9% is not, it's territory marking.

99% of it is not art, sorry, just litter on the walls made by delinquents.

Bank robberies also are art.

No, it's not.
