And how will their BTC stack grow from writing down 12 words? An empty wallet is of no use

You can sell them some. Thanks to that they will witness an actual bitcoin transaction.

I would be worried that if you just pass them onto a centralized institution, they will misunderstand what bitcoin is because of it.

Or how would you explain it to them? "Hey, there is this bitcoin technology. But don't use it. Buy IOU from a corporation instead."

I would not waste any KYC-free BTC to train someone. Once they accumulate, they can self-custody their own sats from the corporation. At the end of the day, they would simply be buying from an exchange, as almost all banks can only act as proxies with a simplified UI/UX.

You know that they will likely never withdraw into self custody.

They will if you tell them to. But yes, on their own, probably not. I always cringe at the amount of funds on exchanges and its sad

I had success explaining self custody to normies by simple analogy. It's like holding a gold coin vs. having paper gold. After that everyone understands that it's better to hold the real thing. Then they can go and buy from an institution.
