Isn't cold storage about where the keys are? You still need to be able to actually interact with a chain.

My understanding of "cold storage" was always that they keys are not accessible to the internet. That could be stored on paper, a flash drive or engraved in metal and put in a safe, or it could be in a regular digital wallet on a device never connected to the internet. If you want to do transactions, put it on an airgapped device, create the transaction, then move the transaction to an internet-connected device to broadcast the transaction.
Ditto.
The internet is adversarial, a cold wallet should only be reachable by a wrench attack.
