I believe the point is that it would require orders of magnitude more resources - a prohibitive amount of resources - for an overbearing government to strip citizens of physical assets, vs. the ease and subsequent temptation of doing so digitially

Well, it’s easier to steal custodial digital asset accounts...

It’s harder to steal properly secured non-custodial cryptocurrency/asset wallets.

e.x. multisig or Shamir’s Secret Sharing, brainwallets or passphrase encrypted wallets, etc
