The likelihood of losing your seed phrase depends solely on how well you store it. This is a completely controllable situation with the right approach, but it is not the only risk when investing in Bitcoin. That is why I say that the risks of investing in Bitcoin are much greater than losing your seed phrase.

The risk of losing your seed phrase can be avoided altogether by buying a Bitcoin ETF rather than native Bitcoin, but that doesn't make such investments risk-free. Your investments are still subject to risks—high volatility, tighter regulation, possible protocol errors, hacks, competition with other blockchain technologies. These risks should not be forgotten either.

ETFs don't give you the control over your BTCs, that would be another issue for the one choosing this path.
