it's just plain cruel because people who are unbanked & living out of their cars can't save up & rise to help themselves because their cash gets stolen
i played on a blackjack team in the 90s, a legal cash business, we helped a formerly homeless player get back on his feet but once he went back out on his own, i don't think it was 6 months before some traffic cops stole all his cash & put him homeless again
very discouraging

a person who stashes cash under the mattress / in the freezer in the US is subject to losing the money to police forfeiture, a real fear, not a "might happen in the future"
I worked in a legal cash biz in the 90s/early 00s so i've known many people it happened to ... you do not have to be arrested for much less convicted of any crime because property (cash) does not have civil rights so it can be seized (forfeited) merely on suspicion
so... where do you keep your savings & how often are you robbed or caught up in a natural disaster? i've found that sopping wet rolls of dead presidents don't spend that easy
banks were created for a reason, if the answer is "don't use banks & make it impossible for those vulnerable to robbery, floods, or fires to save for their future" -- i don't think that's a good answer
