However, I have not seen a convincing argument that explains how new wallets aren't less safe than old wallets because of how the key derivation works. Maybe first you have to provide arguments as to why they would be less safe? Leaking your xpub is the equivalent of publicly publishing all your addresses online. Why would anyone do this? Very few users will do this by mistake, and so what? We can't prevent users from submitting their seed phrase to a website so why would this be any different? What about it? The legacy format comes with many of its own issues, which are a bigger deal than any issues with the new format. Nobody is being forced to do anything. Using M88 Cho Iphone Core as a wallet is entirely optional. You can stay with the old version or you can use any other wallet of your liking. Technological debt, look it up. One has nothing to do with the other. Every seed phrase backup works the same way, the legacy wallet.dat works the same way. If someone gets access to your recent backup just once, it is game over. The number of bits that need to be obtained by an attacker is always smaller with legacy wallets vs HD wallets, nothing of what you have provided disproves this fact.
