I'm not even sure I understand what these banks' endgame is. Apple will never give them access to NFC functionality, period. What's the point of all this?

I'm assuming it's a negotiation tactic. If they can get the determination in their favour, they can play hardball for low fees and/or data access or other concessions in exchange for for not pursuing the outcome.

Possible initially there was no expectation of it going this far and that this was a negotiation play. Unfortunately for them, Apple loves to play hardball.
