Yes everyone says this but managing your own keys is a bloody pain.

Why? There are so many ways to store them, why is this such a pain? I don't get it but everyone here says so but in meatspace I never hear anyone complain about it.
Most people in "meatspace" are not involved in crypto in any serious way
Hardware wallets make it pretty straightforward.
And always remember they aren't your keys if the hardware isn't by you and verified to gate level.
Is losing coins to a crocked hardware wallet even a thing that has happened to anyone?
