Wouldn't it be better to have them in the regular financial systems subject to the "know your customer" laws, so the money and customer can be more easily tracked?

If it's about all sorts of illegal activities, shouldn't law enforcement use these things as a resource, rather than driving it underground?

It is not law enforcement that is driving them underground. That is private corporations, who decide to rather not know those customers.

It's been happening on social media sites too, so it's not just isolated to banking. It seems to be a political trend to censor non-politically correct things.
