I wouldn't trust entirely airgapped devices.

Even airgapped  machines might be infected via BIOS/EIFE  (and or hardware drivers) malicious payloads.

Once you formatted the computer and reinstall the OS, there is no problem.


Nope, there  still are  problems as   BIOS/UEFI viruses can survive  formatting and/or reinstalling.

The same is true for malware hidden in firmware of HDD/SSD.

Thus my stance on the preference of HW generated SEED  stands unaffected.
