There's lots of reasons to abandon trezor long before the wasabi partnership and the wasabi partnership is still not my reason personally for saying that (because you could just say well its an optional feature you could choose not to use)

Yes, trezor is open source, but all the shitcoins in trezor software makes it incredibly difficult to do code review. That's why I've been trying to point to the bitcoin only firmware and bitcoin only wallets. I pointed to sparrow before, apparently they have a coinjoin in there too (which I don't use) and that fucking triggered some trezor or wasabi employee or something (though it didn't help that I was acting on old information. Trezor didn't have block filters for a long time.

Anyway, jist being electrum sparrow whatever works you know whatever Bitcoin wallet with as small a codebase as possible that you know how to connect to your own node is what you need and what you want. If I knew of a simpler bitcoin wallet that used the BWT dependency I'd suggest it.

Then there's the issue of no secure element. Like if you import the seed phrase every time you turn it on I get it, but other than that and don't hit me with the encrypted with the passphrase thing, you're just gonna make me go off on how broken the password is again.

And the final and most important thing to me is funding trezor is funding scams. They recently got some African "Bitcoin education" initiative and its just marketing scams (shitcoins) to people. I'll get my Bitcoin Ekasi letter about the problem with that if pressed.

So maybe you don't buy cold card because they started adding NFC and supporting ordinals, maybe you don't buy a jade because you don't like funding liquid shitcoins. Good on you. Doesn't mean you're out of luck. I haven't found anything negative about seed signer, krux, or passport yet (although I'm 100% suspicious of any and every company and I'm more than ready to go off on any company).

But all in all, there's lots of reasons that drive the decision to stay away from trezor and ledger.
