IEX allows and has major liquidity providing HFT firms & probably couldn’t operate without them.
Also IEX is a very small exchange, not one getting huge. Their PR firm is impressive not their size.
Finally there are lots of trading options that allow you multi-exchange order book access. Getting market access is fairly cheap. The expensive part is the counter party risk mitigation. You need someone to prove you are good for the trades you say you are. That has nothing to do with HFT or electronic trading at all.
