This brings back memories of "sure you can root your phone, but if you do secure apps like payment won't run anymore"

I can only imagine that allowing "unverified" apps to run would also disable payment/banking apps. Just in case, you know. For your own good.
That should be up to the bank to decide, and it already is. https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/safetynet...

None of my banks have complained to me because I'm running a patched YouTube app.

That doesn't seem to have anything to do with what apps you have installed, just whether you have Play Protect enabled. I have Play Protect enabled, and I can still install apps without having to scan them first.
See the listHarmfulApps() documentation on that page.
