What’s the point of this? How does it benefit the retail investors? Why does a “blockchain” need to be involved at all.

Because with tokenized assets/stocks you can trade them 24/24h every day, like Bitcoin.

More trading -> more fees. Like crypto. They want to stoke transaction volume.

And what’s the point? This doesn’t help everyday people. They can’t be glued to the news and a trading platform. Besides couldn’t you do the same without a blockchain?
