This is a horrifying scenario.

It’s an everyday scenario in the financial world. Humans make mistakes. The systems that currently power finance may be flawed but they have affordances for mistakes and provisions to fix them.

What would be a horrifying scenario would be to lose those affordances and backstops for new technology that requires humans to not make mistakes to operate it safely

Not really. Why would you ever share non multisig keys with anyone outside of a test scenario. Tbh anyone who cant understand why this is a bad idea should not be holding crypto anyway as they are going to get separated from it one way or another

"person has malware on their desktop PC" is a perfectly ordinary scenario. Happens to thousands of people every day.
