I've resisted switching to a hardware key because I know that I'm going to break it, and that seems like a huge pain in the ass. I really want to be able to make a couple of backup keys, or maybe put another way, I want to be able to put the private key on the device myself, I don't necessarily care that the key is generated on the device and never leaves the device. I don't care if that slightly reduces my security - I'm not protecting nuclear weapons, my threat model is not state actors trying to attack me, my threat model is me leaving my key in my pants pocket before putting it in the washing machine.
