I share similar sentiment. If hardware wallet contains private key behind some pin number, its always security-by-obscurity.
Obviously it's VERY OBSCURE (like you need research team and some ultra precise laser slicing machine to break it), but still security-by-obscurity. Everything that exists as a physical object in physical reality is breakable somehow.
I lean towards SeedSigner.
How does seedsigner help with that besides privacy and diy?

Seedsigner is ONLY for signing. It doesn't store seed on-device. If you turn it off memory gets wiped.
It ofc means that storing/securing seed is a separated responsibility in SeedSigner setups. So it's part of a tradeoff here.
I'd say it's suitable for ultra-cold-storage setups where you transfer out funds very rarely. Because it's poor UX to provide seed everytime you make transaction.

Thanks didn’t know memory got wiped after. That’s great.
