To add to your comment:

In his chat with Elon Musk, the RH CEO said that Robinhood was given the $3B bill at 3am in the morning, and got it down to $0.7B after saying they would only allow closing out of positions for "meme stocks".

By his own words, RH took the first step to "change the game", which I am not really seeing discussion of anywhere. The DTCC certainly did not change any rules for them, but this still feels unprecedented.
