Why don’t they also read your gmail and get your bank passwords?

And maybe have access to EVERY site actually, with “forgot password” type stuff in addition to providing oauth tokens…

The tools in gmail in some sense "read" all your mail in order to classify spam and do things like calendar integration. The extent to which they do other things with the information is .. unclear.

Because your bank doesn't send your password to your Gmail because if they did they know Google would read it.
