I never liked the idea of devices designed with storing bitcoin as its sole purpose. I've seen some pretty dubious stuff like this:

Why would stuff like this be necessary when you can bypass it with a solid linux airgapped laptop? sure it's not as convenient moving a laptop around, but you still a computer with those devices nonetheless.

Also beside the potential exploits, it's just a device that screams "there is money inside, please steal it"
