> Why would banks be motivated to care?

Because courts have made them pay the curtomer their losses when the customer (not the bank) was scammed/hacked/etc.

And you don't think that plays some part in all these arcane security requirements that basically amount to "you're doing something a little weird so we're just going to block you rather than support it"?
