You're almost there. Think to yourself now: what was it that happened in the past that necessitated the need for a large regulatory apparatus, auditors, etc.?

FWIW, I work for a major financial organization in the UK as a software architect and I've brought it up more than once over the years in various roles: not a single bank in the UK supports Yubikeys or custom Authenticator apps.

Not one (I last checked about a month ago!)

Security, while pretty good, is still lacking imo!
