None of these “fancy pants” mortgage ℠ companies could beat my boring old banks

Rocket mortgage beat my bank by over a percentage point. My bank wouldn’t even match.

Key is “my banks” - I had already found low rate low fee mortgage providers and ended up using them again

Rocket Mortgage was the worst mortgage company I ever worked with. I ended up using my local bank with better rates and a much faster closing.

Better, as well as other online lenders, were definitely offering very competitive financing, especially with the AmEx credit. See this thread for pages and pages:

I never found a local lender that came close to LoanDepot/Better.

I really tried to make it work, because I wanted that deal, but the fees and other things associated with Better kept coming out worse.
