The questions is, how to trust any of existing crypto-wallets to store private keys?
Most wallets are open source, and the ones that aren't are ones that you should not use.

So because they are open source, you can go and read through the code yourself and make sure that it is secure. Then you can compile the wallet from source (so that you don't have to trust any distributed binaries) so that you know that the source code that you read is exactly the code that went into the wallet program that you are running.
