I don't know how it works in other countries, but in the US you likely still need to provide a real address for many purposes (tax, immigration if applicable, etc)

The police could just find the correct targets and raid their home instead.

I have a virtualmailbox.com address - all my banks, the IRS, state voting commission and USCIS (immigration authorities) are all perfectly fine with it.
Wouldn’t your identity documents required to open a bank account show a residential address?
Can't say for sure. I opened all my bank accounts while still having a proper residential address, but after relocating to another country changed the address to a virtual one, no one said a word.
