No sensical person is concerned with the interest rate on savings, it is nearly zero and effectively negative.
I dont believe anyone should have a single account with 100 million dollars nor should banks allow that, but they do. Perhaps part of the problem is that the $250k coverage is a value that should adjust annually and coverage should be relative to each account as opposed to each account holder

You can easily find savings accounts now which offer over 3%, and it's going up as the fed continues to raise rates. This still might not be the best investment when you consider the high inflation, but it's great for emergency fund type accounts that need low risk, high liquidity.
