Now think about this in terms of a vehicle. The bank will tell you they get nothing out of it but how does that make sense?

There's no way they get nothing out of it, but if you go to a new bank who can now borrow funds at a lower rate due to the Fed, they'll get something out of it, you might get something out of it, there's pretty much never a prepayment penalty on auto loans, everyone wins except the bank you left. Banks are perfectly willing to screw one another to get your business.
