I think that's very specifically from people complaining about the confetti in the Robinhood app. I'm not sure it's that "gamified" otherwise - Robinhood simply has an easier to use UI than something like eTrade and Schwab which just love tables and have no information hierarchy.
I think only part of it is all of our newfound free time and easy access. There’s definitely an element of companies “optimizing” for engagement though, too.
