Malware stealing bank accounts, credit cards & paypal is just as popular. All of which you have no real influence about the actual account security.

Banks have more security measures in particular.

You can't just login to paypal from another IP. You can't just login into most emails these days ( 2FA)

Crypto wallets have none of those protections.

Other than that:

EOS (dPoS) reversed transactions multiple times while being top 10 at the time: https://cointelegraph.com/news/eos-reverses-previously-confi...

Ethereum Classic was attacked multiple times with chain reversing double spends due to not enough energy being committed to immutability: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-classic-attacker-successfu...

Ethereum reversed the "DAO hack" with a hard fork.

> Crypto wallets have none of those protections.

Which is simply not true, there at least 100 Wallets just in the Android Store. You think none of them has some kind of additional protection?
