My point was that the computer, laptop, or phone you are using was made in China including all of its hardware components. You connect your hardware wallet to this China-made blackbox, access your financial, private data, work-related data, etc. You have a choice to connect a hardware wallet without a secure element that has vulnerabilities, which those with a secure element don't have, or use one with a secure element, which is probably again manufactured in China and closed-source. And no one knows what it does.
