I've been wondering for a while about this.
Why do people do it? I mean, if you use an online wallet, it way safer that having it stored on a file or paper which can be stolen at any time.



An online wallet has too much security for this. Like Two-Step Verification, or a pin code, etc..

using online wallet even if it has a lot of security is has a lot risk like getting hacked
unlike hard wallet like file or usb you can store it safely where you want to but it also
has a lot of risk like getting the file/usb corrupt, so ill recommend if you are going to use
a file or usb to store your btc take extra precaution.
