Yeah, but you're still having to pass through Coinbase or any other exchange, and they can remove it from you there. That's the point, if Bitcoin needs an exchange to be functional you're losing all the differential features that Bitcoin has.

Yes, but you can still protect your wealth once it’s out of the exchange.

I guess the answer to the exchange problem is to have a decentralised exchange.
