Are seed phrases outdated?

Been thinking about this a lot lately.

Seed phrases have been the standard for self-custody for years, but honestly… they feel kind of outdated. Paper can burn, metal can corrode, people can make mistakes. And we’re all just supposed to memorize 12 or 24 random words or hide them somewhere “safe” for decades? It’s kinda wild when you think about it.

Curious what you all think. Am I crazy for even thinking this way, or is it time for something better? What would the ideal solution look like?
