A password manager that does not allow one to log in to the wrong site is still very useful. Also, just because you're entering a master secret in doesn't mean it's any easier to get it out. The user could simply be required to generate the master secret herself and back it up on her own.

Sounds basically like a key store/loader like this one: https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/usa/kyk13/index.htm. I have a little experience with its successor. There’s a legit purpose for it but it’s a different animal then an HSM in my opinion.
