It probably isn't impossible, but it is made much harder with use of separate hardware, be that a physical key or secure enclave. A fully compromised laptop still can't get the private keys in a "perfect" system. Of course, the hardware might have design defects, or some debug feature to get private keys that shouldn't have been shipped in production build, or government mandated backdoor, etc ... But it now requires a compromise of both the client system AND their hardware keystore.
