ELI5: What is the purpose of a Swiss Bank Account? Why are they so special?

Never understood why Swiss bank accounts held such a prestige in my head. Explain!

There are two main reasons why rich people like to put their money in Swiss bank accounts. The first is that Switzerland is a very stable country. It is rich, it doesn't get involved in wars, and its currency is very stable. For this reason, people don't have to worry about losing their money to failing banks or inflation or anything like that.

The other main reason is secrecy. Swiss banks are famous for not sharing information about their clients with anybody, including the government. Even though they are not OK with people using their banks to commit crimes, Swiss banks are still useful for people to avoid paying taxes or for putting money that they got illegally.
