While you're right, OP is right too imho. People may not consider looking for Hardware wallets under Wallet software    (and maybe this could need a change in the hierarchy/the way how the things are presented to the users).



Indeed, the seed should never get online, not even for the printer (also mail, cloud, desktop are not proper places for storing).
Even if bought from official shop, it's safer to reset it at least once, just in case (iirc there were cases it already had a seed!)
Keep in mind that the HW may need an update before any other operations.
And, important: after you generated the seed, wrote it for safe keeping and so on, write down 1-2 addresses (can go even to a text file), reset the HW once again, recover from the seed, match the addresses. This would ensure you don't come crying in 10 years that the seed you've written down doesn't give the addresses you expect.
