Assets were not at risk, if you've understood the scenario in any detail you would know that it was liquidity/cashflow problem, not a solvency problem.

Yes banks are important but due to fractional reserve banking it is and was a "systemic" problem.

If Amazon tomorrow had a cashflow problem, would it be a cause of intervention - big fat no. Fear of contagion had caused overeaction just like the covid-19 pandemic - knee jerk reactions all over the place.

Banks get bailed out - non banks don't
Banks can manage your money to make more money and get backed up by state authorities if trades don't work, non banks don't have this luxury.
