You can see a technical analysis here https://twitter.com/Neodyme/status/1735337711555285261 , this is a JS repo for app integrations for Ledger and really has nothing specifically to do with Ethereum itself or any hardware. There are several wallets solutions that make transactions easier and more secure for people using Eth, but Eth is a protocol running a network and doesn't concern itself with the app layer, and rightly so.

Yea my point is that Ethereum has created a complex system without paying enough attention to generating human-readable signing blobs. This is not something that a wallet can help with. The information displayed on the Ledger's screen needs to be human readable so that people know what they are signing. This is something that needs to be solved by the community creating transaction format specifications and the people writing the Ledger Ethereum app.

Ledger deserves a lot of criticism for insecure JS, but the whole point of a hardware wallet is not to have to worry about the JS you are running.
