Except fractional reserve banking died decades ago.
... there is no fractional-reserve system in place any more. ...
Politically in the USA, things are slightly different this time around with the debt limit posturing. There is a group of Republican Congressmen in the House that are ... uncompromising in their views. I'm not sure how aware folks outside our borders are of the whole Speaker of the House election saga, but it informs the problems within the Republican party and what the Speaker of the House is dealing with. The Republican party is having to negotiate within it's ranks with a radical, uncompromising sect. They are going to continue pushing for concessions/dialogue on spending before pushing through a debt ceiling bill.
The Dems in the Senate (led by Shumer) and Biden administration think they can successfully blame the Republican party for non-action on the debt ceiling issue. They aren't going to budge as long as they perceive a political benefit to stonewalling Republican calls for dialogue on spending.
There is a very real political impass right now and both sides are gambling that the other will cave to pressure from their constituents. Yellen et al are trying to wake the masses up on the issue so that pressure might build and someone caves. It's not in anyone's interest to let a default happen.
