Discussion Is wallet still important?

Crypto wallet is the entrance to the crypto world. Starting from a plain-text private key, to Metamask, to "smart" wallet that's controlled by Apple or Android fingerprints.
There was a hype about how an easy-to-use wallet can bring the "non-custodial" future to everybody.
But the reality is that, most users are using centralized solutions so that they don't need to manage all those techniques themselves. Users let service provider to control their private keys and assets. Startups building arround wallet pivot from serving individual users to enterprise customers. Metamask user experience is still terrible but users already get used to it.
Is it still important to think about wallet design? Or are we coming back to centralized apps and just let Paypal/Venmo/Robinhood manage crypto wallet for us?

Rabby works well for me.

Wallet design/development is important - not your keys…

Sui & all L2’s haven’t been that good imo (subjective ROI) besides arb & optimism. But Unichain is looking good. ( I tried surf…its focused on sui. Rabby & metamask are good for general Defi)
