Nothing must confuse you to connect your main wallet to any platform even if it's the real platform for token swap, because you might think it's safe and these people have their ways with your hardware wallet later on.
It was wise of you not to connect your wallet to that platform, as it's always advised to have a separate wallet for any tokens, airdrops, or faucets that require you to connect your wallet to their site. For a long time, many people have been victims of incidents where they connect their real wallets to unknown or malicious faucet sites and unfortunately get scammed, losing their funds.
As a long-term holder, you should consider holding reputable coins like Bitcoin in a hardware wallet where you don't always have to connect to a third party for upgrades. This is another reason why I don't trust most altcoins or tokens out there today. We should all be smart and vigilant to avoid mistakes that could put our funds at risk and leave us frustrated.
