Having a hardware wallet in this situation would make it quite simple seeing as there's just a pin code required to access it, and one doesn't necessarily need to let anyone know of the fact that one has a hardware wallet, but, maybe leave a text in the will or a letter somewhere informing of the pin code?

Yes! You need to protect your wallets against any possible theft or hacking. You must protect your private keys and wallet passwords. This is a must for everyone, else your coins will be stolen.
The frequent warnings of ensuring you protect your private keys from anyone seems to have eaten too deep into almost everyone of us in cryptocurrency. Some of us have forgotten certain realities of life and cryptocurrency wallets which I want to warn you about. My warning is mainly targeted at anyone who has a family, or at least, a child. You must leave a means or trace that your family will be able to access your wallets when you are gone. I mean when you are below 6ft. Each one of us will die some day. No one wants to hear this, but it is the absolute truth. If you suddenly die today with your secret keys and passwords unknown to your family, your coins are lost forever. Your crypto wallet is not a regular bank, so no way your family can claim your many crypto wealth online.
Don't be selfish. Your family or wife or children must not suffer when you have so much Bitcoin or other coins trapped in an inaccessible online wallets.
Remember your family and loved ones.
You have a very strong and uneasy decision to make today.
Quite a good point though. But can someone actually include his cryptocurrency wallet in his will? Maybe that may help too. Otherwise, all the coins you have will just be wasted forever when you are dead.

Trust is the key factor here. A bank account cannot be access by the family members unless you die but that's not the case for crypto, If you give your password, unless you trust whoever you gave the password to 200%, you should expect that your funds will be gone at any moment.
