In regards to monthly statements...yes, I e those all the time for getting financing, accounting, proof of residency, etc. I need them. Others need them. Most web portals offer "all transactions" or "since last statement views". Just because months are arbitrary doesn't make them useless.
Purchasing a house recently, I offered a CSV of 6 months banking transactions, but they would only accept a paper statement from the bank - clearly showing fees charged in order determine if I had any insufficient funds charges. The bank provides explicit PDF images of statements, even though they don't send them, so I was ably to comply (actually sending the pdfs to the mortgage broker to print for the underwriter.)
