Right up to the moment you lose your laptop in a fire, forget the password to your wallet, accidentally run malware on your personal computer, etc. Or if you die and haven't gone through the complication of setting up a way for your heirs to gain control of your accounts.

Yes, you can take steps to mitigate these risks. Those steps are absolutely insane from the POV of everyday human beings.
