I wonder if that is just limited to IBKR Lite, their commission free platform https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=45196
Even if they don't receive payment for it, one would certainly hope they're sending their orders to wholesalers and not an exchange. They'd be screwing their customers otherwise.
There's no point in hoping, because the 606 forms on their website clearly say they send lots of orders to exchanges too.
