I really do not understand why they do not separate these into multiple separate wallets

They did.

This was a multisig - meaning M out of N signatures from different signing devices were needed to sign a transaction. The attacker infected enough signer devices to go unnoticed and the signers failed to verify what they were signing on air-gapped devices

    This is the part that really surprises me given the amount of money involved.

    • But they didn't know the amount because the UI showed them a different value, so if it's for 50ETH and you regular sign tx for 100-200ETH you may be a little less thorough.
