And their apps refuse to run on custom ROMs or an unlocked bootloader.

Banks are the one thing that should use apps. Browsers have too many security issues.

The bigger issue is them using the google integrity bullshit, that's not necessary.

My bank's app hangs and crashes my phone.

Because whether you agree or not, sandbox is a necessary for banking app. No other app should ever be able to EASILY (emphasis on easily) perform arbitrary read on the banking app data.
