I think most banks has their own policies and the government has nothing to do with accounts that they block or restrict due to crypto transactions.

I think we should only pick trusted banks.
Yes, there are other banks that is fair and just, whom doesn't interfere with other matters that is not reflecting or may harm certain banks. But naturally, banks do obey what governments are told them to do, besides it's where they get their licensing and policies. So what do we expect? They can't just disobey the government that easily because they aren't independent.
