Sure, nothing beats, for example, pencil and paper, when
it comes to unbreakable quantum computer resistant encryption,
when using compromised online devices. *BUT* I was referring
to Yubikeys, because one can purchase many and use them besides
storing a secret key for decryption also for Gmail, Twitter etc. 2FA, which
you can not do with paper, let alone that you can't steal a secret
key on a Yubikey remotely, when your online device is compromised.

And last but not the least nobody is forced to use them.
