🤷 don't keep much money there has always seemed like good enough advice, but not for everyone

No system is immune. The difference is that hardware and mobile wallets have different attack surfaces. The Coldcard discussion is about a very specific attack scenario. It doesn't automatically mean mobile wallets are more or less vulnerable, just vulnerable in different ways I believe.

it's more useful to think about it as a "seed generation" attack.. not a "device-specific" attack

Any amount that would devastate you if you lost it should be kept on a hardware wallet where you use dice or something similar to generate the first 23 words. Then you type them in and let the hardware wallet generate the last word. Otherwise if you rely on electronics to generate randomness for y...

This can be mitigated by not relying on any wallet to generate your seed words for you. Instead, you...

Different threat vector than weak hardware generated entropy

There have been similar attacks on mobile wallets.
