Almost every single broker offers commission-free trading now.

And some of them (Fidelity, Vanguard etc.) didn’t pull trading when it got volatile. They also have far more stable platforms.

I think it’s also important to mention that Robinhood also has the most brain dead simple UI out of all the trading platforms I’ve seen.

The brokers you’ve listed have more complicated user interfaces than the casual trader would care to learn about. Fidelity and Vanguard also probably care way more about their reputations than to gamify their platform like RH does.
