I am not sure why this get thrown randomly as the solution to every problem. Bitfinex major hack was due to regulation. Banks and Crypto companies don't have the same attack surface and the one for crypto is way more complex due to permissionlessness.
Most of the billion was frozen though if it was not frozen in time it would have probably evaporated just like these bitcoins getting into mixers.
At this point, the best is a 2-multi-sig solution where one is some hardware wallet and the second is an iPhone app wallet where the seed is stored digitally only. So even if your offline seed is compromised, you are still covered.
