This is not something specific to open source. Unfortunately if you want to be well-known person who works on well-known project you must either ignore all the shit thrown at you altogether or you must be very very resilient. When you react

What you say could be correct for a lot of technologies, but not this one. E Ink tech do not have much traction because of "E Ink" the company and their patents. Basically it's highly proprietary and they dont want to give aw

You can't just take "important" esim out of your phone when travelling. If you lose your device or if it's stolen recovering eSIM from many countries is PITA.
