Exactly. The people who were "harmed" by this were folks who tried to use Robinhood to do ultra-short-term (seconds-level) trading in an attempt to capture micro-swings, and Robinhood is a terrible platform to do that (and, honestly, people who thought Robinhood was a good platform to do that kinda deserve what they got ;) For normal investors / traders / gamblers, this shouldn't make a difference.
