Indeed, but some "security" guys frown deeply about the private key ever leaving a specific hardware device, because the second it can be backed up they freak out that it could, theoretically, be stolen. It's hardly a practical concern, but there's a lot of security people that don't care about practical considerations.

I see it more neutrally - the concern isn't wrong after all. Security is always to be balanced against convenience.

I consider being locked out for good so inconvenient that I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of security to avoid it. But everyone has to find what works best for them.

Get out of here with your pragmatism. We'll have none of that in this security context.
