If hardware wallets became unusable, would confidence in Bitcoin weaken, or would people adapt with new storage methods? Is this even a possibility ?

I've never used a hardware wallet.  I bought one at one point but quickly discovered that I couldn't import my own private key, so I was no longer interested.  I'm not sure I would want all of my Bitcoin on a hardware device anyway.  I think their development is good for the community and perhaps one day they will lead to a great product, but right now it just seems like a lot of problems for users who use them.
