But one HW is meant to go out with you. At least this is how I see the things.
Aren't you afraid showing a hardware wallet in public is like waving a thick wallet filled with cash? Anyone with a $5 wrench in their pocket can't see how much is on their, but they might be curious.

I have a Nano S which imho looks too much like an USB stick. Not fancy at all. And if one (with a 5$ wrench) is watching, he'd already know when I ask to pay with bitcoin...

While I do carry it with me, I didn't have yet the opportunity to take it out and pay. At all! (I've done some typical transfers from the safety of my car or room though.)
I've even took it with me abroad in holidays, still no chance.
And now, with the pandemic, it's even worse, since I get out much less often.
So maybe when the opportunities will exist and I'll get to experience this for real, maybe I'll get to change my mind.
