I think I've finally figured out why the Schwab site is so much worse than Vanguard, Robinhood etc.

Schwab, an old-school firm, come from the era of high-fee managed funds. Thus it's really for financial advisors, who get their fees from those funds, not for you, the sucker.

Have we really reached the stage where we're counting on frat boys to save American universities?
