If that's the case, why aren't FI's going after Plaid for impersonating their branding/login screens? When you go to link an account in-app, for instance, there is no indication that you're using Plaid; you're presented with a login screen that matches your FI's color scheme + branding. In fact, it's even more on-brand than the FI's own login screens, sometimes!

This reduces costs by minimizing duplication where possible. I suspect Microsoft's approach was likely driven in part by the additional costs needed to support two compliance regimes for their various products.
