Depends on how you went about getting that hw wallet..
Hardware wallet is not for storage it's for signing
Hardware wallet < hardware signing device
hardware signing device < Airgapped Bitcoin Computer
Difference?
A wallet holds money, a signing device does not
A hardware wallet holds the seed phrase to the bitcoin keys? Hackable?
A signing device uses the keys once?
An airgapped computer can hold the keys with risk of being bricked. Backup your keys
Am i right?

Ufff happy you posted this, it needs an adjustment because it's not inherently true but is a common (potential) fallacy.
You should never look at your electronics as a persistent backup.
Especially if you have a Coldcard for ex, as a lot of complaints of coming back to a stored device & have it be completely bricked.
It's the #1 issue / complaint with their devices.
But I would treat all HWWs like this & make sure you have backups of your seed phrase(s).
