also, hardware encryption is far stronger than software encryption.

Faster (potentially), maybe less open to side-channel attacks (if properly designed), but I see no reason that the same algorithm implemented in silicon would be any "stronger" than if it were in software.

Most of the time, what you're calling hardware is liable to just be software running on a different processor, perhaps in a box that has been glued shut such that it's less convenient for bugs to be found, fixed and patched.
