And how many banks are acquired after that happens because of how healthy their balance sheet used to look?

You can see a list of failed banks and who acquired them here. https://www.fdic.gov/bank/historical/bank/

Every one in the past few years looks like it was acquired.

The cost of money is very different now though.

This one is largest than the 100 previous ones combined.

And the point is that there may be many reasons why a bank may want to acquire a smaller failed one to integrate it in its operations but "the previous owners used to have a well-capitalized until they somehow lost it all" is not a strong reason on its own.
