They don’t have to. Nobody designs their apps to work with specific ROMs, they design it to work with Android. Custom ROMs are still android ROMs, they’re just managed by open source communities instead of phone OEMs.
But if you have the ‘wrong’ version of android, the app will simply refuse to work. These kinds of apps are understandably picky because of security. And you can’t expect banks/governments to make exceptions for a small minority who uses a custom version of android.
That does not depend on the version, but on google’s safetynet. Apps can check with it if your phone runs an approved installation, which means not just being limited to the original ROM, but one that still contains all the garbage data mining apps that will also drain your battery and your mobile data plan, besides taking away your privacy.
Who do you think that custom ROMs don’t use the latest version of Android?
And what do you think “custom version of Android” means? Every single android phone OEM needs to make their own ROMs. Are they all running custom android? Even Google pixels?
You can always switch to some custom rom after you stop getting updates
Know any banking apps that work with a custom rom?
What about your national governments designing an identification or tax related app that works on a custom rom?
Good luck with that.
Some banks have decent mobile sites. But it does suck to have to resort to that.
It won’t turn out well having only a few companies acting as gatekeepers.

Magisk denylist has worked for me. There was one app that refused to cooperate but I got it working using Shelter
Your banking apps starts to only work on latest Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max+ and only on Verizon 5G network.
OH, I’ll guess I have to switch, there is no other option for me.
