The difference is that while allowing a (properly set up) crypto bank to transfer funds you may also at any point and for any reason take full custody over your coins. The private key which enables that should not be used for anything other than emergency (minimize attack surface) and keeping such a key secure is not all that difficult. With this combination you get all the benefits of a normal bank yet they are powerless without express authorization to do anything with your funds. You can withdraw at any point for any reason.
Services and practices securing your private key will need to be widespread before adoption seriously takes off. Storing a seed phrase in your sock drawer is not acceptable: Vitalik Buterin secured his billions via two physical pieces of paper which summed to his private key; surely a step in the right direction. An n of m scheme with each n being held by parties unlikely to collaborate is another solution.
This is all not even mentioning massive private banking and its relationship to the economy and bias towards the wealthy. Crypto is FOSS finance, it works for the people as stated and expected. As I said, you are correct - using your layer 1 sovereign access for everyday use is a security blunder - you now know where progress points.
