Wait why are you assuming they gained more than lost? OP also mentioned that other places have $0 trades anyway in terms of the cheapness.

Any news is good news. They gained a surge of users when they had that huge outage when COVID first hit. People overestimate the degree to which anyone cares about the controversy, and underestimate the degree to which it's free advertising.
But they aren't anywhere near as seamless or slick as Robinhood. I exclusively use Charles Schwab but I don't even really think they're competing for the same type of users that much.
