ELI5: Why do companies do stock splits when fractional investing is possible?


Everything I’ve read talks about how stock splits increase a stock’s attractiveness to a “wider” audience (aka poorer investors). But how does that matter in an age where you can just buy pieces of stock? Is it just a psychological play to change the perception of a stock’s affordability? Even though now all stocks are (at least partially) affordable?
