When you first got started investing your money in crypto, you probably sent money to coinbase. Once your money was there, you started buying coins with gdax or other exchanges. If you don't have a lot of money in crypto, and you like to trade often, then a hardware wallet probably doesn't make sense to you.
But, if you have a lot of money in crypto, and you want more protection for it, you might want to think about getting a hardware wallet, or you might want to store your crypto somewhere and have access to use it in the real world.
There are many choices out there, and more companies are making them as crypto gets more popular.
