 Sorry to hear that you are disillusioned. 

IMO the current state of hardware wallets is actually great (if you can put the bickering aside).

There are many design directions being explored by teams with different priorities making products that target different users and use cases.

 This is true. I don't mind the fragmention actually or I should say the diversity of options. 

Actually I forgot to say, because I was in a rant mindset, that there is a project I'm excited about. Satoshi Labs Tropic Square company that is making it's own chip.

There are many details here, but overall, I think they are taking a risk and pushing a larger industry forward.

I think ultimately are a very personal choice and technically, they all mostly solve the one issue of key separation. But because they are a physical product you can buy, they get shilled to no end on podcasts, youtube, etc...

So that's the kind of stuff that drives me nuts.

I think, being in security, I tend to always see the negative things -- how to break this or how that will fail. I'm also a bit cynical person in general sometimes. A sincere thank you for bringing a positive reminder.
