Jokes aside, I doubt people swap sims very often and when they do it is because they are doing a first setup. International travel is obviously an instance where people do swap sims but I expect it will become easier to use esim for this now that you have to. I welcome the move to esim-only and have been using it since the Pixel 2. Having to stick a little 256KB card into the side of my state of the art, thousand dollar phone just so it can connect to a cellular network and having to get a new card if I want to swap networks is ridiculous.
