The wallet that the crypto community believes to be safest because they are not exposed to danger is a hardware wallet (ledger)
Danger is too broad of a term. If we are only talking about the safety of your private keys and ultimately your crypto, sure, Ledger manages to achieve that. But Ledger hasn't handled themselves properly during the database leak, so they failed to protect the privacy of their customers. They are currently failing at the production of Nano X's because too many of them have battery issues. Ledger isn't great, neither is Trezor or Electrum. Electrum is a software wallet. Although it's one of the best in its class, it's still a hot wallet (unless you are using it as a cold storage) and can't be compared to a hardware wallet or a properly airgapped device.   
Thank you for pointing this issue out cause I'm aware of the NanO x problem but the ledger database leak that happened then will only expose those that purchased the ledger before the data leak to a possible physical attack.
If we talked about things that have to do with internet activities there will always be a danger involve due to inexperienced or human error and pcmag once claim that air-gapped devices are also not secure as we believe it was.

This is what I have thought about several times and what we can do now is to use one of the best wallets in there class until a total solution arrive.
