I'm really confused about why web access hasn't launched yet? Would think that is the easiest of them all and entirely in their own fate. Options and crypto seem like much more complicated endeavors but a website, ffs.

people will not spend more money trading on a website. not having one is an inconvenience. options and crypto are more places for people to put their money

I blame Apple. No, really. When Robinhood first launched it was intentionally targeted at iOS users, hence the almost automatic focus of building an app vice a mobile friendly progressive web app. Then the push to target Android users - but since "we do apps" is already the corporate mindset, the next thing is not a web page, but yet another app. Eventually they get around to the web.

A company I left a few years ago went down the same path.
