Passbook savings accounts have largely disappeared due to advancements in technology and changes in consumer preferences. Many customers now prefer online banking and digital financial solutions that offer more convenience and features than traditional passbook accounts. Additionally, the low interest rates in recent years have diminished the appeal of these accounts, leading banks to phase them out in favor of more profitable products. Lastly, the rise of mobile banking apps allows for real-time tracking and management of savings, further diminishing the need for physical passbooks.
Banking is a business in purist term from a banks perspective. They wouldn't take up an activity if it is not profitable for them. Let us say you own a bank and cannot afford to pay interest on savings accounts. Would you continue to incur losses and pay interest? I don't think so. So, to answer the question, yes, paying interest on savings accounts is profitable to most banks. That is why they pay us interest.
i think it should be consiterd

Yes, most, if not all banks offer free checking and savings accounts. In fact, I can't think of any that don't.
One advantage that I can think of is the fact that Savings Accounts usually offer an interest on the money held in the account whereas Checking accounts offer very little or on most cases zero interest on the money held in the account. On the flip side, there are limitations on the number of transactions you can make on your account in case of Savings accounts whereas there are no such limitations for a checking account.
Savings accounts opened with one bank cannot be transferred to another bank. You would have to close your existing bank account and then open a fresh account with the other bank. This feature is not available as yet and I don't think it will be in future as well.

Cerificate of Deposit accounts are likely your best bet for high interest. However, these accounts do place deposit requirements, and restrict when you can withdraw your money without penalty, so think carefully before investing.
