Many folks might not even know if they lost possession or not. They cannot find their Trezor, but they also cannot remember for sure where they last put their Trezor.

This may sound too harsh, but these people do not deserve to own Bitcoin. I will not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for them if they lose their coins.
Would they do the same if they had a suitcase full of cash? Would they forget where they last put it? I bet they wouldn't.
Extended family history: lost (for a time) quite a bit of money (bearer bonds or something like that) by putting them, as it turned out, inside a big book, then properly forgetting it completely. Family was looking for this for years, then found the 'instruments' when they were moving many years later. Alas, by then most of the value was eaten by inflation.
Don't think that you would always remember that odd password that you concocted recently and did not write down somewhere. Memories do fade.
I don't know about you, but for me, the physical location of my Trezor is something I cannot ever forget, unless I suffer some kind of stroke or other brain damage, in which case my coins will most probably be lost, as I won't be able to unlock the Trezor even if I ever find it...
It's the items we perceive as being of low worth, that we tend to misplace...
