> Am I missing something? The ability to move SIM cards around isn't something the carrier likes. eSIMs give them that control back. The ability for you to easily pick up a local SIM while travelling isn't something either the local carrier wants (they'd rather be paid 10x as much in roaming fees) nor your primary carrier wants (they'd rather have you roaming which means they can now tack on a bigger margin on the roaming fees). eSIM involves the carrier during the provisioning step (the QR code you get is one-time-use) and I don't believe you can move them, which means to move the eSIM the carrier needs to be involved again to give you a new QR code. This could involve fees or other unreasonable requirements.
