So someone should be not enough educated to use a weak passphrase, but has the competency to recalculate a checksum?

I repeat: it's an advanced feature, and like all advanced features it requires a precise application in relation to goals and circumstances.

For sure, every UI that exposes the passphrase possibility must do it carefully, use the correct terns ("25th word" is just wrong) and point the user to a good informative resource.

If a tool wants to support decoy seed phrases, it can recalculate the checksum for you. Breaking the philosophy that a seed phrase is all you need is dangerous, and will be more dangerous as Bitcoin becomes more popular

Even with the best UI, storing many seeds (an well know format, easy to spot) is more complex than having one seed with a customizable additional layer of security. I repeat, for advanced setups, not the casual user.

There's always hex or base64

Easy 😅

And you completely loose the resilient benefits of seeds.
