Some of those items can be difficult acquire and maintain, especially if you're starting from nothing. Additionally, many banks require a deposit, and most if not all online banks won't accept it in cash. Most online banks now also require a closed-source app that will, on Android, most likely also require Google SafetyNet, excluding many custom rom users. The street address requirement is a burden on those who live nomadic lifestyles, as you cannot (legally, iirc) use a virtual mailbox, and you have to depend on friends or family to receive any mail they send you.
I attempted to open an account at Ally last month and they denied me because they couldn't verify my identity, even though I'd accurately provided everything they asked me for. I assume it's because I'm not in the ChexSystems database or have no credit history. On the other hand, I can get an open-source bitcoin wallet on my PinePhone and just use it.
I rest my case.
I think the key here is that it's easier for people to obtain financial literacy because crypto is more accessible than the current financial system.
