That's only true in the most technical of senses. Yes, there is a spread, but other brokerages take a spread AND additionally charge you another fee on top of that which is often an outrageous $5-10.

depends, how big is the spread?

The spread is generally on the order of a cent.

The same as literally any other brokerage.

That outrageous $5-10 probably helps the average person make money in the long run by not overtrading.
