Hello, just wanted to ask few question cause I'm a bit confused, why people are more inclined in using hardware wallet?

I find it hard to think, why we still need a hardware wallet when its easy to make a paper one?

Convenience. The only safe way to spend from a paper wallet is to empty it completely and never return to it. A hardware wallet allows regular access without exposing the private key to the internet.

Ahh, I see. But as you said there's some vulnerabilities (I've done some researching and some users are also experiencing this) with it? I find it less secure and a bit expensive, if I'm to use this than just keeping a paper wallet.
