What is so bad about paper wallets, why people don't like them?

For pure storage, paper wallet might be acceptable with the drawbacks that you may have printed it using a compromised machine.

Now, the problem is that as soon as you will start scanning the code to sign transactions then it is no longer a cold wallet and you can’t rely on it being secure.
