> without paying $10 Reducing delays to near instantaneous is an argument, but having to pay $10 for a physical SIM sounds like a scam. Yet I've seen providers making people pay for eSIM as well so it seems they like to do this. On my provider, physical SIM are free and available under 24h. eSIM are free as well and I haven't seen a single SIM on any local provider more expensive than 1€.
