I have a copy of my keys offline, it felt really crazy when I was doing it a few years back, but I value my account enough to have my keys stashed away from the internet, just in case. 
I think there's really nothing hard understanding how Hive keys works, and your explanation makes it simpler.

I don't agree we don't get enough onboarding because of allegedly complex stuffs as keys. Web2 is not web3 and certainly we needed compromise security for anything less

This is so right.  Having asymmetric encryption is a feature, not a bug.  It just takes slightly more complex mechanisms like public/private key pairs.   The fact that HIVE has different key pairs with increasing levels of authority only highlights the importance core devs placed on developing tools for users to keep our information safe.

Self-custody is a different beast than the 4 digit passcode used to unlock your phone.

Exactly, I hope people will understand that his. I've been getting the argument that perhaps we should get ride of the complex key system for something simpler like what we have on Facebook. I don't think these guys understand the concept of self custody, and maintaining complex security mechanisms. 

I think one day, people will get to understand this.
