however if you are willing to put the effort a regular wallet can be made to be incredibly secure, if you take the right steps.
Sometimes it is not what you use, but how you use what you have it that matters. Even people who can afford to have a hardware wallet are not still safe should they decide to become careless thinking that buying a hardware wallet is the final security one can have for their cryptocurrency. A person who uses an electrum wallet can be safer than someone using a hardware wallet. For security, consider developing a consciousness for security first before consideration of a wallet to complement it.
