The newbie me always thought that when I finally be able to afford a hardware wallet that's it, there will be no need for writing anything down until I ordered for my first hardware wallet only to be given a recovery seed again. I wish I can forever get rid the need to write down and keep my recovery seed but I guess there is no way to do this and still maintain noncustodial.

When I got smarten up I learnt that with recovery seed you will always have your assets back even if you swap to another hardware wallet, you don't have to worry about what will happen if your favourite hardware wallet company goes out of business in the future.
