An assessment on banks costs shareholders of the bank, not accountholders. (Maybe it indirectly costs accountholders if banks lower interest rates on customer deposits, but these rates are generally not affected by a small short term shock).

It might seem unfair that shareholders of random other banks have to pay for this but no more unfair than accountholders of SVB paying for it.
