You can of course restore it in a software wallet. But entering wallets generated by a hardware wallet into a software wallet immediately lowers their status from cold storage to hot storage.

If you have a watch only wallet, and you lose your HWW (your signing device) you won’t be able to send bitcoin.

Unless, you either get a new HWW and restore your seed or input the seed into the software wallet and make it Hot - Which is absolutely not recommended if it has a lot of bitcoin.
