What kind of wallets do you include in most good wallets?
Reputable open source wallets, such as Electrum, Sparrow, or Samourai.

My question was that by sending a coin to a hidden wallet (during long-term storage), will it not turn out that access to these coins will be lost? Due to the fact that trezor suit ceased to exist, and other applications that allow you to restore access to the wallet simply didn't exist in nature (that is, there were such wallets, but initially didn't support hidden wallets).
I would suggest that if a coin doesn't even have its own standalone wallet, it's probably either completely useless or an outright scam and should be avoided altogether. Worst case scenario you can use Ian Coleman's site on an airgapped computer to enter your seed phrase, passphrase, choose the correct coin and correct derivation path and extract the necessary private key for your shitcoins.

What government surveillance and control are you talking about? If now trezor hardware wallet is considered a very bad choice, then it’s not even clear which wallet is considered a good one.
They have partnered with Wasabi, who pay the blockchain analysis company Coinfirm to surveil their users. Trezor have not been a great choice since their unfixable seed extraction vulnerability, but given that they are now pro-surveillance and pro-censorship I don't think anyone should ever buy a Trezor device again.

The best hardware wallet on the market right now in my opinion is a Passport.
