Echoing this - for long term storage, they should be kept on a hardware wallet.
For long term storage, that sounds a terrible idea. Do you really want to trust your savings to $20 of electronic components that aren't designed to last more than a few years?
The wallets can be regenerated using your seed phrase. So your argument should really be, "Do you really want to trust a $0.02 piece of paper" :)
Exactly. The hardware wallet is pointless.
You should save the seed words somewhere as backup.
