I don't understand how this wasn't more of a priority to begin with. If you're going to offer a digital solution for something it should at least be as convenient as the existing physical solution.

I mean, you can just not use it. It was a great option for me because I can just have one provider in the SIM slot (if I wanted) and keep my main one on the eSIM. It allowed me to swap to eSIM when my SIM card was acting up. I switched to eSIM over a year ago and honestly forgot I did and it's been really stable. I think it's a great option and works for me. I wasn't even thinking of needing to switch to another phone because I have no interest in swapping to another phone. I've had mine since 2020 and will keep using it until it is unfixable. But I also don't drop my phone or damage it otherwise.
