I mean, if being secure requires an average person having an airgapped computer holding the wallet keys, it's not going to see much adoption. Also you can't really use it as a currency if you do that.

> having an airgapped computer holding the wallet keys

That's basically a hardware wallet (not 100% "airgapped" but the same idea). And yes you obviously you can use it as a currency that way.

Still I agree that crypto is too complex for the average person and I wouldn't trust my mom to not lose it or get scammed.
