My disagreement is more
“Oh magic time machines are all powerful” then they are stored in a way where they are just all gone a year or two later. That aspect never sat well with me.

Have not actually read any of this, but familiar enough with adjacent discourse to know that this is kind of the point—story protagonists often do stupid things in service of a good narrative.

Sounds like Wells Fargo was making enough money there was no need for it to open fraudulent accounts in its customers’ names!
