TDA has excellent executions in my experience and I typically execute many trades per day. With stock options it's easy to get inside the bid ask spread and unlike many other brokers like IB they allow penny increments on limit orders.

As for trading in highly illiquid nanocaps, I don't do much of that, but other brokers have restrictions too.

I don't trade treasuries directly, I use ETFs like SGOV. Far more efficient.

I have a large account so I benefit from prompt and excellent customer service, maybe that's not the case for all accounts.

IB has by far the most diverse offering of trading .... foreign exchanges, shorting pinksheets, options on futures, etc, so for that I use IB, but I'm not fond of their platform, high commissions and fees. For most trading I prefer TDA over IB.

Surveys have TDA generally ranked quite highly, so the broader customer base views them favorably. Forbes and Fortune rank TDA ahead of Schwab -
