2. Can protect & give you insurance if the wallet/password is hacked = all your life savings gone.
Who is going to insure me from the bankruptcy of the insurer? If the bank goes down they're going to schrug their shoulders and walk away, leaving you with your pants down.

5. In case of fire or damage your hardware wallet (computer/phone/hard drive/USB stick/ back up) can all be lost.


Just buy a fireproof safe or buy a normal safe and put it in a concrete wall in the basement. Even if your whole house burns down that basement wall with your safe inside will survive. This is less risky than giving your private keys to someone.
