Why? There are so many ways to store them, why is this such a pain? I don't get it but everyone here says so but in meatspace I never hear anyone complain about it.

And always remember they aren't your keys if the hardware isn't by you and verified to gate level.

Is losing coins to a crocked hardware wallet even a thing that has happened to anyone?
