"So, I'm thinking that each bank is assuming the others are as f*cked as THEY are..."

Pretty much.

These things are always a crisis of confidence. No matter what the industry, the guy who swims without trunks is going to have advantages. The whole point of laws and regulations is so that there are some minimal decency standards in case everyone has to come out of the water.

However, starting in the 1980s and 1990s, one by one they started to quietly slip out of their trunks. That was ok, as long as it was only a few, it wasn't really gay. When the enforcement was relaxed after 2000 and the growth of the unregulated parts after 1999, going commando became irresistible.

Suddenly, everyone pauses and is paddling in place, and it is dawning on them that the guys next to them are probably going commando also. Simultaneously, the thought crosses all of their minds "this is soooo gay"....
