I recommend Trezor still because with onboarding, I think UX/UI is absolutely key, and imo, Trezor wins there. This mainly lies within the wallet software you’re using more than the device I think, and so I recommend Trezor and Trezor Suite to start. I prefer CC as well but I like planting the seed with Trezor and seeing where that goes. I’ve had several friends who have contacted me later asking me about secure elements, if it’s open source, can I use this with other wallets, etc. all by their own research. Do I attribute that to Trezor? Not necessarily. But with apprehensive people who think it’s too confusing (i.e. a bunch of scary numbers and letters on a seemingly outdated looking interface that is Electrum or Sparrow), Trezor is kinda their “Ok, fine” moment.

But you’re very right, it isn’t that hard to understand, and CC does a great job at that with their device itself, but there is an intimidation factor I think.

Also, this sounds argumentative and I am not meaning that at all. Just love HWW conversations lol.
