Inferior Prune Function and Hardware Wallets

Everybody knows hardware wallets are for morons. I’ve seen people say that hardware wallets prevent exposing your keys… to your hardware. In fact, you are trusting and exposing your keys to a third party, namely, some fly by night hardware wallet manufacturer. You’d be better off on an rPi or Tails than one of these weirdo hardware wallets with mystery chips. I don’t know why our devs are catering to “hardware wallets”? The hardware wallets should be catering to us.

Also, the –prune-blockchain function.

In bitcoin you can specify the disk space you want to target for pruning. Example, prune=15000 would prune the chain to 15gb of disk space.

In monero you have the –prune-blockchain option. It significantly decreases the disk space required to run a node, however, the required disk space continues to increase- unlike the bitcoin prune function that targets a size on disk.

Is there a reason for this inferior prune mechanism? Is it possible to prune the chain to a targeted disk space like bitcoin?
