So the dependency on them for security is baseless ?
You are the first security to your wallet
You don't depend on hardware wallet for security, it is just a medium used by yourself as the holder, if you don't protect your hardware wallet then you also at expenses of losing your Bitcoin.
Some of us haven't used a hardware wallet for storage but still have our funds secured, either way if the impossible to happen ever happens their is always many folds of options.
I agree, especially when we are talking about methods where our custody is in our own hands, we are the ones responsible for the funds on such wallets, and in 90%, what we do and how we do it outline whether our funds will be alright or not.
