Hopefully the point is received that hardware wallets manufacturing is a juicy target.
You can take two approaches to that: use a hardware wallet that is defensive as all hell when it comes to their manufacturing to a point of seeming deranged. And hope they don't make one mistake.
Or, use general purpose computing equipment. Like Satoshi did.
I'm even concerned about seedsigners these days on the raspi zero's. They are working on an ESP32 build though which is hopeful enough. I also just think airgapped laptops using keys you've rolled dice to generate are hard to beat. Theoretically you could even run one older than Bitcoin (might need an older version of T(A)ILS for this or a custom live Linux usb/disk), though that proposition is getting harder and harder with time.
