So, exactly what Robinhood is doing, except with more altcoins on offer? I assume their business model is to take from both sides of the spread.

Not exactly groundbreaking, but the more competition and liquidity options in the spot market, the better. It seems like every exchange saw massive amounts of complaints during the run-up last year. I personally had very frustrating issues with Poloniex and Coinbase.
