Again, I'd argue the opposite. I think [...]
Having said all that, for brand new newbies, I'd probably suggest a hardware wallet in the first instance, since you can just follow the instructions to use one and they require very little technical know how.

Hmm. I have a counter-argument for your statement about practicability, but I'd go off-topic.
Now about hardware wallets, I wish there was a cheaper one out there for those who can't afford to pay +50$ on a wallet. OpenDime is the only cheaper one I can think of, but it doesn't let you back up your seeds as far as I know so that's a no for me. OpenDime stolen/lost = your funds lost, compared to other hardware wallets that have close to 0% risk of losing anything in case someone steals it from you (unless they also steal your backup seed).
