If you can get at a password by hacking a website, I wouldn't be holding out hope that they couldn't then steal the TOTP secret.
I mean yes everything is hackable. Thankfully the hardware key supports FIDO where there is a public / private pair with private locked on the hardware. Not enough services support this though.
So threat is being targeted and having somebody steal the hardware key.
