Well, non-stupid people also use yubikeys, so they are not mutually exclusive

Maybe, but there are also a lot of people who don’t understand the point of yubikeys that want to use them but export the secrets. Those people cannot be trusted with their own security and need to be protected from themselves.

Nope, let them be burned, the sooner the better, before they own something actually valuable behind the account

What a truly psychopathic take, I really hope you’re not making decisions that effect people.

I have the same opinion of people who want to control others because they "need to be protected from themselves".

So I take it you’re against food safety standards, seatbelt laws, taxes on cigarettes, the clean air act, payday loan reforms, etc.

Most people will never understand this subject, and the fact that they don’t need to is a good thing. If you want a hobby, great, you can go figure out how to do that. The default needs to be safety.

No one mentioned exporting keys, but importing to yubikey (one way) same as it is already done with gpg on air gaped machine versus generating fido private key on reset within yubkey itself.

1) yes they did, I suggest you look again. 2) That’s the same thing. The end state is wanting the key material outside of the secure element, which is foolish.
