I hear you. But FWIW - some people do like those options. So you can't say it is not really a perk.

If you are happy already at somewhere like Schwab that specializes on the brokerage side of things, the U Invest platform is so-so at best, and certainly doesn't lend itself to someone that wants to actively invest (no pre-market or aftermarket trading or futures) or use leverage.
Exactly.
