Robinhood has multiple (perceived or real) advantages: there are no trading fees or minimums; you can trade equities, options, and cryto-currencies; the app's UI is simple and intuitive; etcetera. Robinhood is doing the most to make trading accessible to masses, and from what I've read online, they're quite successful at doing so. Robinhood is the defacto trading platform for the younger generation.

So Etrade could eliminate commissions and still remain profitable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Trade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Trade
