I don’t know which person you have in mind but the situation in Europe can’t be directly compared since you have a right to a bank account. You _cannot_ be debanked. You have a right to a “base account” (under some conditions).
Debanking to me doesn't just mean "no bank account". It starts with closing of accounts without being given a reason and the constant fear that any new account will be closed as well. For businesses this has even bigger implications.
You a right: There is base account meant for refugees, homeless people, indebted people... This is nothing more than a safety net for when you are at the bottom of society. You can't do business with it etc... If someone where to be forced to register such an account because all banks closed the normal accounts without giving a reason, I'd still consider it debanked.
