Because banks have an almost incurable case of Not Invented Here.
They have to be made to understand that this is a point of competition -
and that 128-bit SSL is in fact just fine, and probably a better-proven
idea than doing their own custom app. (Yes, banks that do their own custom
app. Here's to trusted clients!)
So the way to evangelise banks would be to get them to perceive it as a
point of competition, an important one.
