Absolutely. Sofi is the smart play there vs RH. Getting HNW folks onboard with student loan and HCOL property mortgages, and then cross selling them deposit accounts and investing access. “Young Money” Fidelity or Schwab.

Getting young people to get into debt is a very different thing than getting them to build assets. RH gives (small) margin loans from trading, not (large) student loans for marginally useful university courses.
