OK, when you sell off the “money market” mutual funds, you roll out of a mutual or “sweep” fund, and you’re left in cash, which has a 0.0% yield.

The money is still in your account, so technically it didn’t move anywhere, just as when you buy or sell a stock in your accounts, your money didn’t “go” anywhere - it was just buying or selling an asset held in your account. So the money didn’t have to “go” anywhere, it was just pulled out of the money market funds.

So, your saying these guys are afraid to leave their money in the money market fund, yet they are willing to leave it in the bank, brokerage or mutual house account.
