Or someone builds a smart contract that loots the bank (I'm looking at you, Ethereum, even though my description is overly simplistic). Of course they don't. Until they do.

Yes, Ethereum gave into the temptation of a special case, redacting code-as-law. But there were some users who understood that this can't be done without undermining the whole system as a social contract, so they didn't go along with the fork. The original, One True Ethereum, is still chugging along as Ethereum Classic.
