I don’t see a problem with this, seems perfectly reasonable an API that let’s you query whatever you want. By drawing attention to this you might get some “easily offendable people” to notice OSM and make a fuzz about this which will result in a worse API for everybody.
Note that banks aren’t very robbable anymore anyway. You might get a couple thousand out of the cash drawer. The rest is on a time lock or not even held locally because cash isn’t universally used anymore. You’re still jailed as if you stole millions.
Bwa, we’ve had worse ;)
