can you expand on that? is it custodial in some way or you just don't like the company?

Big-tech. Closed-source. Privacy-invasive.

yeah I don't know if that alone is enough. sure its less trusted than an open-source wallet but thats usually not the wallet you keep your life savings. I still believe having 2-3 harware wallets with different tiers of security makes sense.

Explain your argument to why you need a hardware wallet, or even multiple of them.

like why you need one at all? so you don't get your life savings stolen by either a custodian or just someone accessing your trust wallet. Airgapping from the internet is huge also.
