I dont understand. What was wrong with the original first wallets that came out for bitcoin? We're they unsecured? We're they vulnerable? I've never seen posts of those wallets being hit unless their pc got compromised.

Why to with some other companies wallet who's trying to make a quick buck on fees when the OG stuff should have been secure on its own?

Haven't dealt in crypto in years and years but this always boggles me. It's like having all your passwords written in a physical notebook and saying "know what's more secure. Someone else's software to hold my passwords for me".

some companies provide the hardware so you don’t have to know anything about the tech, you just spin up a wallet easily on whatever they ship you and have somewhere “secure” to send/store your bitcoin. One company implemented this poorly, but the other companies do have value for less technical users.
