It's weird because this is violating a fundamental principle that people generally associate with crypto: if you know the keys, you own the crypto. At least this is the case for Bitcoin.

It doesn't: coinbase owns the keys, so they own your crypto.
Now let’s put that in the Coinbase marketing and see what happens…

“Invest in Crypto, by giving us $100 with which we will buy $100 worth of BTC that we own.”

How is that not weird and who would follow a QR code on their TV ago “Invest in crypto” if this was at the top of the page they opened?
