Esim is yet another way the big monopolies (tech and telecom) are taking more and more control away from the paying customer. The situation is very similar to when Apple and later others removed the headphone jack from phones. No customer would be happy with the change. Some might be ambivalent, others annoyed. But they still did it just so Apple could build a billion dollar ear pods market. Physical SIMs provide way too much power to the customer. They can change phones and numbers without involving the carrier or phone manufacturer. It's only logical that this last vestige of control be taken away too.
