> I don't see how removing a SIM card makes it easier to move network. The idea with eSIM is that instead of having to wait 5 days for the new physical SIM to arrive in the mail (or instead of having to drive to a retail shop to buy one), you can simply buy online and have the eSIM instantly delivered to your phone, right in the moment. The effect is that it would, if implemented as intended, further lower the barrier to switching carriers (no delay for mail or no drive to retail store).
