Most of those 'other brokers' that halted trading, were similar to Robinhood, as in not really a proper brokerage. No serious bank ever halted trading, why would they?

Etrade also did and it’s the retail trading arm of Morgan Stanley which is the sixth biggest bank in the country…

I don’t know what your qualifications for a proper brokerage could be.

Fidelity has been down at least a dozen times this year, for hours at a time during trading hours. It's not exactly a halt, but effectively same boat.
