A broker is nit your friend who refuses to buy junk food for you because he suspects you’ll be sick.
A broker is yiur fiduciary/agent; their discretion at refusing your order should be limited to well defined circumstances, and I would be surprised if this is one of them.
(I would not be surprised if the EULA lets them do what they want, but I would be surprised if it would actually be found legal in court —- though it will likely take ages to test because it likely contains a binding arbitration clause)

But on the other hand if many of their users go bankrupt because of poor trades that could backfire against Robinhood themselves, directly or indirectly (for instance by motivating new regulations).
