I have just checked the thread by dkbit98 on how careless Trezor was with their securing element chip, my reason wasn't not enough to justify that you are wrong by cutting out trezor as hardware wallet after all that risk they might have made customers to undergo with out passphrase. I can't just imagine what will happen to anyone using their hardware to generateseed phrase with passphrase.
I hope you continue to correct my wrong comments in the future. Thank you.
If you secure the hardware wallet fairly well, as in physically. You should be alright. Like I said, technically it can be compromised physically, however my philosophy is if you've got into the effort of getting a hardware wallet anyhow, you should be securing it physically as well. Even with secure elements, you can't be sure there isn't vulnerabilities in it.
I tend to believe that breaking into something physically, is much easier than remotely. That's simply because there's much more unconventional techniques you can use. There's been freezing of devices, and all sorts of techniques done in the past to compromise it.
However, if you're concerned then yeah use one with a secure element. I still wouldn't absolutely rely on it though, and would still take precautions.
