I’m not sure how you generate addresses without the device? Can you explain what you mean there don’t you need the hardware software to generate addresses?

Well what I mean is you could pre generate a few addresses and store them elsewhere if you wanted, you dont have to. But if you did, you wouldn't need your key loaded on the device if you didnt want to. Or for example, you could use a public key watch only wallet on Sparrow to generate addresses without your private key being exposed at all since addresses are derived from the public key, not the private key.

Ok I follow you now.

My basic belief is you should create as small an attack surface on the private key as possible. And the surface area is inversely proportionate to the frequency you intend to spend as opposed to receive.
