Help me understand. A hardware wallet generates a seed phrase (random number) via their secure element. What are the chances the same hardware wallet generates the same random number if millions of people buy the same hardware wallet? I get there's 1 in whatever chance of it happening. But with Bitcoin becoming so popular and with people generating hundreds of seed phrases from only 2048 words via software wallets etc. What are the chances?
