What is everyones opinion on Trump kids accounts? Choosing BNY and Robinhood to manage the initial apps seems suspect to me at best

Seems odd to choose these two companies instead of trusted brokerages but I honestly dont know how this stuff works. I know BNY Mellon from only one thing and that's Epstein trafficking money transactions. As for Robinhood unfortunately I use it and may have to stop but to me it seems like they've turned a lot of young people on to investing only to try and bait them into options/predictions markets (gambling and overwhelmingly losing). Plus the whole Gamestop/Beyond Meat scandal with pausing peoples orders... Besides the free $1k (or maybe its 1250?) is there any benefit versus a 529/529a or even brokerage account?
