This is objectively not true because there are companies, even banks, where this level of stupidity has not prevailed. In turn this implies that the others are doing something which is different but possible, and the scoundrel companies could be doing that too.

Even if the something is no more than engaging less fatuous attorneys.

All it takes for this to happen is the lawyers not knowing.

You seem to be assuming that there is actually a law requiring them to do this. If you believe this to be the case, please identify it so it can be targeted for repeal.

Whereas if there isn't, the obvious alternative is that the other banks have lawyers who don't erroneously advise their client that they're required to do something they're not.

Yes, because that particular set of lawyers haven’t said it has to be blocked. Doesn’t mean my statement that lawyers have final say is “objectively not true”.

Somebody is choosing which lawyers to employ. They have the ability to choose differently.
