Is that really the basis of those transfers, or something that they're using? This is why it's kind of tiresome to even mention cryptocurrencies/blockchain, all the "assume good intentions" and "answer charitable" suddenly flies out the window.

Why is it that some topics just triggers some raw emotional feelings in people?

Yes, when I worked with moving money between businesses and banks decades ago, we used public key crypto as part of the system for sharing ledgers and running transactions. Banks aren't stupid, any technology that can actually reduce fraud by more than the cost of using the system gets quickly adopted.
