My cell company locks my physical sim to the phone it is plugged into.

If I move the sim, I have to go through similar bullshit as I would if I wanted to move an eSIM (attempts to upsell the plan, charge for the “service” of moving the sim, etc, etc.)

At this point, I don’t see any disadvantages for eSIM, since the backported the enshitification to physical sims.
