So if I’m a single supplier and I want to act as a hostile actor in order to negotiate better terms or something, does my refusing to sign mean that _all_ supplier transactions are reversed or at least slowed on chain? Is there an actual attack surface here?

Also, if I’m adding a new supplier in this example, do I have to spin up an entirely new “virtual bank” to do so? Or can I just add them to the current one? What is the user experience there?

This is a new fundamental building block that would help make these types of scenarios possible. However, by the time end users get an implementation, it will likely be more complicated than a single transaction for the reasons you mention and others.

Also note, as exemplified by altcoins it is always possible to trade off decentralization or security for more features.

You will open a virtual bank with one of the big nodes, say Binance, and they will handle the rest.
