Why is Importing MetaMask Seed Phrase into Keystone Not Recommended?

Seed phrases generated online, like through MetaMask, can have higher hacking risks compared to ones generated entirely offline. Even if you later import an online seed phrase, it will NOT provide secure protection since it could have already been exposed. Remember, your seed phrase is the key to your funds.
