You don't have to, actually it's safer to use offline wallet than online wallet stored on servers.
Online servers are often the aim of massive numbers of pirate trying to get their hand on a high amount of private keys. They are a lot of money involved and you can get away more easily than stealing from a bank.
And with computer the more people are trying to crack a server or a XBox, Iphone, what ever security the more chance at some point someone will find a breach, it's just a matter of time.
The safest method is to keep your own keys in your computer, usb keys, or offline paper, or best memory
If you have read the recent emails from Electroneum big boss some account may have been breached because their recovery email password wasn't strong enough.
With an offline paper wallet it wouldn't be possible, at best you would have a few cases of either very bad luck or stupidity.
Maybe a better online solution would be to store your private keys in an encrypted file inside an email server like Gmail, Google seems pretty drastic in term of security, I can't even recover one of my own account thanks to their crazy amount of security.
