Now take a look at the other side of the coin. How much revenue does a bank get from a non-client? Unless they charge a fee, it is zero. Why should they allow other bank's customers to use the machines they set up and maintain, for free?

fair enough. But what about your bank charging you to use another machine?
In that case, you are saving them receipt paper, armoured car costs, gas, maintenance and you're wasting the resources of their competition instead.
If anything, my bank should pay me to use someone elses machine since I'm saving them the costs.
