But do you really think it's an interface problem, or does the crave for convenience just overdrive the impulse for funds safety.
When the bank ATM was introduced, many people claimed that they would not use it because it was complicated. The same thing was said about online banking. But today, many Nigerians are comfortably using these platforms. One does not need technical knowledge to learn the basics of self-custody. Any literate person would easily understand how to use and safeguard a wallet if they are interested. My take is that convenience is the major reason people choose noncustodian wallets or platforms. 
You are right and whenever they are careful with their data they can as well safeguard whatever it may be.
As a matter of facts, the people whom we think can not secure their wallet are the people who do end up securing their seed phrase properly than we can imagined, and even when we talks about ATM card, even now old women and men do use it provided that you told them how to insert the card and input their pin, the easily go to the Machine and have their cashed withdrawn without having any issues. Same its with the non-custodian wallets.

I don't see self custody as complicated or difficult as you think. It's all about keeping your seed phrase safe from third-party and have multiple backups. You can also add pass phrase to your seed phrase for additional layer of security. I have been using Electrum wallet for three years now without any issues of the problem you mentioned in the OP. Your wallet security boils down to how you take it serious.
Self-custody starts from choosing the right wallet which should be open source wallet or hardware wallets. If the right wallet have been chosen, the bulk of the job is on how to protect the private keys and the wallet itself from unauthorized access which is where many people fail. As a tip, the private keys should never be stored in anything connected to the internet because it can never be safe that way. Last but not the list, many backups must be created and properly protect.

UI shouldn’t even enter the debate lol..
Non custodial walletswallet aren’t as hard to understand as the CEXs, the most popular custodial wallet. I’ve seen people reach out because they can’t navigate their CEX account holding their funds because of so much sections they comprise.

If they can learn to use exchanges then they can learn to use self-custody wallets.. all they need is the learning resources which is available freely online. Keeping the seedphrase is just where most people get it wrong.
