Do you honestly think any significant amount of people will put up with the setup, latency, and inability to use their bank's website that would entail?

Most people don't know how the internet works, don't care as long as it works and do not think about it beyond that.

Bank website would be on the old, regulated network.

That would be for messaging & fun internet.

No money or influence to be made.

And fringe or grey area stuff. Copyright infringement, censure evasion… meh.

The high water mark of Joe Q. Public giving a damn about DRM or anything related to it was when Keurig added DRM to their coffee machines. As soon as the normies who cared enough to do something about it (which still was nowhere near a majority of Keurig owners/users) found a simple workaround they stopped giving a damn again.

The general public doesn't care, and won't care until it actually materially affects them. Until then they'll look at the people who do care as weirdos. And even then, plenty of people still won't care so long as they can access their social media etc. on their shiny new iPhone 28 or whatever version is out when that time comes.
