The private address of a hardware wallet can be completely obscured from everyone... For instance if you have a wallet on your PC, someone could potentially gain access to it via hacking, just plain snooping, or forcing you under duress. A hardware wallet can have funds stored on it, then safely stashed away in a vault somewhere, with absolutely no way of losing it (as long as the vault itself isn't destroyed)
