It is an extremely simple chip and right now it is integrated into the motherboard of any phone. This would make sense if the eSim component was an easily swappable element, which it isn't. Sorry but this critique holds no water. I would even add that, if anything, eSims and iSIMs would probably lower the environmental impact of Sim Cards, which are physical pieces of plastic that are produced (with CO-2 emissions) and shipped (with CO-2 emissions), and also contribute to plastic pollution, as they get shipped in credit-card sized plastic holders that are mostly trash as soon as you get a minuscule nano-SIM out of them.
