Your first two lines completely contradict each other.

The Nano S is #3 in your list.

The problem wasn't the breach, it was their messaging around the breach. I accept that most products have bugs, even security-critical bugs in security products (although this one was a bit extreme to tolerate...).

The Nano S isn't really an HSM-containing-wallet. It (and the Trezor) are somewhere between a smartcard containing just the keys and an HSM. There's "trusted" display and input, but not the whole wallet. The Nano S also does have an element of "trust us" vs. an easily verifiable design.
