So many thoughts here….
But mostly….
In the time it takes one to go through all these mental gymnastics as to whose hardware DEVICE is least likely spit out a piece of compromised/insufficient entropy, one can generate their OWN entropy.
Myself, I use these hardware devices for their most basic function. To store my self generated seed and sign transactions.
There is NO requirement to use them to generate entropy (your wallet). Use them for that if you choose. It’s YOUR choice. But then accept the risks AND the consequences. (The industry has done a horrible job explaining this!)
In other words, BE sovereign.
(Post script: The hardware device is NOT a wallet, the words/entropy are. You may understand this, but many of those rugged over the past 72 hours did not)
