There are advantages in storing your seed on an encrypted ParmAirGap rather than on a piece of paper - If the paper is found, the seed is exposed. If the ParmAirGap is found, it's encrypted and not obviously a Bitcoin-related device; just an uninteresting old laptop that is locked. You can use it in a stateless way if you want, meaning you type in your seed for a temporary wallet session. Or you can keep the wallet file and encrypt it when you create it (i.e., Electrum and Sparrow allow that). The entire disk partition is encrypted anyway.
