Hello and welcome to HC!

I think that your hamster is very comfortable with you and trust you.

If he's uncomfortable getting lifted out of his cage while on your hands you could try a "hamster taxi" meaning that you could let him walk into a jug and then lift him out. Maybe he needs something solid under his paws while in transit.

None of our hamsters will sit on my hands or lap but want to get off to explore, even the one who is very tame and at ease around his humans. I've only ever had one hamster who actually sat on my hand without immediately trying to get off.

I don't think its something you need to worry about. Sometimes we need to accept our hamsters for who they are and put our own expectations aside.
Loki sounds happy to be with you and he's your loyal little companion.
