Schwab, TDA, and others restricted trading on margin. A company saying "we won't loan you money to speculate on this volatile stock" is way different than saying "we won't let you trade this stock with your money", IMO.

Trading 212 in the UK has disabled purchases of GME stock. Ironically Trading 212's tagline also includes "democratising" trading.
I think so too, but as someone not in any sort of GME position, but on TDA (which is being acquired by Schwab anyway), this is a good reason for me to accelerate my search to move off the platform to a more retail friendly brokerage.
