The balance sheet is now 4.25 times as big as it was then, so that would be roughly equivalent to deploying $195bn these days.

Yes, the balance sheet is much bigger, however, has the mindset of the people making the decisions also change to allow a deployment of $200B when the world is crumbling. Obviously, I do not know but my guess is that a CEO in excess of 97 years old (it will not happen soon as it will take time to evolve) who would naturally be concerned about putting his successor in a perilous position, or a new CEO will struggle to fully take advantage of the situation. Perhaps there is a plan and a list that when current $100B market cap companies fall to $25B they will swoop in to purchase or help. However, I do not see $200B being deployed in a GFC type crisis.
