While I will agree that Schwab is decent I, personally, would rate them about equal with Fidelity. That being said Schwab didn't want to be in this spot, they were forced. Robinhood, Webull, etc have pushed all of them to this end game. And now ETrade and the rest are stuck with slumped stocks and have no choice but to follow suit.

Robinhood et. al. can't hold a candle to the breadth and depth of what the others offer. I will concede the simple interface is very easy for complete amateurs to get started.

Agreed. I didn't say they were comparative products. But if you're trading and all you want is the execution Robinhood is worth the price.
