It's not really, it depends on you. there are some people who even lost their Bitcoin save in their hardware wallet.
Maybe it's missing the seed phrase so that bitcoin assets in hardware can no longer be accessed, if they still store of course their bitcoin deposits are still safe.
Basic in my experience, osoftware wallets is safe, I don't have a problem using a software wallet (electrum) for 3 years. I still have my 1st-time Bitcoin save on Electrum today. So, if you save your fund in a hardware wallet, but keep the seed phrase on PC or electronic gadget where always connect to the internet will surely be lost as well as the others.
Yes, the software wallet is still safe, I also still use Electrum for several years without experiencing any problems until now, the most important thing is how to protect our PCs from unknown attacks including from unknown sites or the kind they click on unknown links, I that should be considered for the security of the software wallet.
Although I did not store bitcoin for long on Electrum, I did store it for 3 months safely, but if you still have doubts about this then it is better to use a hardware wallet.
