 I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel the same way at times. Taking full responsibility for your keys is hard, but I've also learned it’s a good signal of the value of learning how to do it right. To practice getting better at it in low risk environments, so it doesn't feel like a burden.

Nostr is honestly a great place to learn. Let's be honest, at this stage if someone loses their keys it won't be the end of the world. The other thing is, on nostr there is value in using your keys to sign notes, notes that are tamper proof and tied to you at the time you created them. Nobody can retroactively take that from you.

We'll still need better key rotation and delegation schemes to ensure longevity, but this is different from losing your key and losing everything associated with it all at once.
