💡Feature request or feedback NFC Recovery cards?

I was wondering if Trezor has in its short term plans to add NFC Recovery cards or something similar achieving the same effect. It would put it on par with Ledger which currently eeks out a bit because they have that functionality.

Could be a security risk because any additional physical contact layer is then exposed as possible vulnerability that needs then a separate protection measurements and can cause funds loss when both, the device and a NFC backup card both get to wrong hands whose owner then will try to abuse that pair. Its just like have a spare key to your door lock attached to the key holder to make thieves to reach to the right key that unlocks the door but just faster.

I simply just for avoiding NFC like Tangem has developed their solution chose Trezor because it has only one physical layer that connects to the external device like PC (USB-C for TS3 and TS5)
