Two things I don’t get about the robovisers: first isn’t there an ETF which does equivalent for any given risk profile? If not why not? And secondly whenever I look at a roboviser I check all of the risk happy YOLO boxes and they still recommend a very hedged portfolio, ie don’t get near the risk of a basic sp500 etf.

What you're asking for are "target date" ETFs. Similar (non-ETF) products exist in some shape at the big money managers like Vanguard and Schwab...

Why don't they exist as ETFs? This is a good question. It's probably only a matter of time before we see such products. Especially that given the current pace of things, there is a new ETF everyday in the US. I've personally looked into building target date ETFs through my work as well.
