Hi, It is suggested on the MetaMask Knowledge Base docs as well. Please refer to the following link, point number 2.
It is further suggested that “For greatest security, only use on a computer you fully trust.
Ideally, use on a computer that is not connected to the internet, and never will be.”

Another way to get yourself a layer of security is a hardware wallet. They are affordable, and highly recommended. They’re basically an extra set of keys.
If you buy a physical device like Ledger or Trezor it is recommended that you only buy directly from the companies and not a 3rd party sales distributer. Research all options to see what you like best.

It is suggested for those who may have the option, and it is not mandatory. For example, I have an old laptop which I am not using it. If I were at a similar situation, I would use that laptop which is not connected to the internet either.
