At least here in the UK for years if you opened a bank account, even a free one, you'd get a debit card + a device for generating secure keys for online and telephone banking. Like a standalone, battery powered device the size of a calculator.

Like....why can't we just go back to that? Banks were "fine"(doesn't mean happy) to shoulder the cost of these devices then.

You can still use them. It’s just mobile apps are better in almost every way. Maybe you should uninstall your mobile app and go back to using a device.
