I agree with you, I just wanted to make the important distinction between investment banking and trading careers, which are often conflated. The difference isn't whether trading is as hard to get into but what are the "exit ops" and how they compare to those in IB. Trading has few, investment banking has many, especially in business-analyst/management-track roles in industry. The upshot of trading is that it is potentially more lucrative.
