The big advantage Ledger had for a long time was physical attack resistance with a secure element. Trezor wallets originally didn't use them, and had vulnerability disclosures where a skilled actor could dump encrypted device PINs which could be used to brute force them.
Using an additional passphrase and (on applicable models) a microSD card as a key would mitigate this issue but both the security of the passphrase and the threat actor not having the microSD card is important to make this countermeasure effective.
Trezor didn't use them until the Safe 3 and later. Safe 3 and 5 are far more secure than their predecessors.
