So you’re now fully bound to your ISP, their proprietary shit app, and their servers providing you a new SIM instead of just swapping a physical piece of hardware in seconds. Getting new SIMs in an ideal condition is the only advantage.
Do you think you can only use an eSIM on a locked phone? Physical SIM or not, a carrier locked phone is a locked phone. You can use eSIMs on unlocked phones just fine

The difference is you don’t have to physically go someplace to get a card or have one shipped to you. You just need the Internet and an app.
You’re complaining about semantics with no real difference, just convenience 99% of the time.
You’re right, i need to use this specific app to change my eSIM. But I’m not bound in any way that I can’t change providers. In fact, eSIM makes switching to another provider even simpler.

For me wanting to switch to a Linux phone in the future it seems less than ideal to have esim instead of physical.
