It's a solution to a bank run because of fear of the banks going under. It's not a solution to a bank run because an industry needs cash quickly. For instance, Silvergate had a lot of crypto firms as clients, and in late 2022/early 2023 all those clients needed cash. You can imagine something similar happening in other industries.

I don't see a problem with a rule or regulation that limits individual daily withdrawal limits. That would solve that specific issue as well, and anybody who needs to withdraw more than that per day clearly has enough funds to have accountants that can coordinate across multiple banks.
