Maybe banking apps would let you run them on rooted phones if they were in an isolated VM

See for example the Xbox, where everything runs as a VM.

This seems like an excellent tool for digital ID cards, banks, government authentication apps, maybe 2FA apps, cryptocurrency wallets, you name it. Anything that's more important than a calculator.
DRM and remote attestation already use a separate secure environment, so I don't see what would change by adding virtualisation.

This nonsense means I just use them in the browser. There is no functionality the apps would provide me that makes it worth fighting with their superstitious nonsense.

Websites will require digital ID just to use them, along with remote attestation. They will also be able to ban or block you in an actually effective and comprehensive way.
There will be a chilling effect because people won't want to upset their Google/Microsoft/Apple/Meta etc overlords by saying or doing the wrong thing, and then get locked out of services they need to exist in society, do their job, spend money, etc.

Every app will want to run in isolated VMs and rooting will mean nothing.
It's like SafetyNet today, you can't run a good amount of apps on unapproved platforms already, even apps that don't handle confidential data.
