You should not be able to export your private key from any wallet UI

Unless there was some built in way to proxy an account to another account and making the old one read only, then this would be a UX nightmare. I get where you’re coming from but there’s so many downsides and edge cases that I can’t agree.

What happens if the app / wallet stops working and you had no ability to back up?

Just because I like to be difficult trying to think of any valid use case. So what if my wallet has an “eject” button that will transfer all assets out of the wallet on all chains. Then it allows you to hypothetically print the private key so it’s available just in case someone accidentally transfers you assets to that wallet Fwiw though this is why a 1/1 gnosis is useful so you can rotate wallets without changing public address

This is unrealistic unless the wallet has either a single balance (like Daimo) or some way to transfer out all balances at once (like EIP-6551). "Right to exit" is a fundamental part of self custody

Does this apply to seed phrases as well, or just the private keys? I've heard too many horror stories of ppl losing all funds because some update wiped their keys and they didn't write down the seed phrase

Opposite IMO. Maybe there should be some Konami code or something to get it out, but being able to perform open heart wallet surgery is pretty essential for wallets these days. I lost a bunch of stuff in a Status wallet back in the day because of their lack of export. Super frustrating.

Yes because we should only have to backup seed phrases.
