Agreed - there's no fundamental reason interfacing with traditional brokerages should be as difficult as it is today. We're working to form relationships with all of the brokerages that we integrate with and are advocating for them to focus on exposing and maintaining public APIs so people can delegate access to (and interface with) their accounts more safely.In the meantime, the technical debt is manageable, but probably only if you're doing this as a full-time job - in my experience, trying to build an investing app and the integrations that power it at the same time is a losing battle.
