Too many words have been wasted over Ledger, and people seem to be oblivious to the main problem here: closed source crypto wallets are idiotic. They have been a serious problem for a long time, and there’s no reason they should exist or that you should ever use one.
Any project or developer that suggests you should put your crypto in a closed source wallet for their dapp or chain should be called out and discredited for admitting that they do not give a rat’s ass about decentralization or crypto. Closed source completely defeats the purpose of crypto.
It would be smarter to sell your crypto and put your money in a bank than to trust a closed source wallet written by your favorite crypto Twitter team. You might as well KYC and trust Venmo, PayPal or Zelle instead. At least you will know who stole your money.
Edit: OS hardware wallets do exist and you can even build your own with OS code.
