What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

AFAIK esim is not available everywhere and it's also less private since you need to register an account to activate rather than pay cash and pop in the card.

    Yes eSIM adoption is low, but half the world requires you to register either way. The main concern is the friction (sometimes inability) with swapping eSIM's between phones. They are great and convenient but they should never be the only option.

    In the eu you have to register your regular sim card with your full personal information. So for us nothing would change.
