For lack of a better term, I think there's a bit of a "hardware wallet industrial complex" in Bitcoin. It's not very profitable to do something like yeti, but it is to sell someone hardware with pre-loaded firmware/software. And on the consumer side, people just want the "easy" solutions without really considering the cost/benefit.

I am pretty partial to it. if memory serves, ben westgate even made a DIY version that was just a guide to making your own multisig in core and backing up the keys and descriptors.

It always amazes me how many different groups there are in bitcoin.

I think it's great. I've had multiple noobs set it up and use it without issue. It's not hard but it is tedious.

Yup, I forget what Ben's version was called, but it was pretty streamlined.

it wasn't Bails although Bails is pretty cool.

I was thinking of a very simple document guide that didn't require any software beyond Tails and Bitcoin Core.

I'd love to see further work on projects like Bails.

Yep, we definitely need more people working on stuff like this.
