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

Yeah but your carrier need to support eSim. And that's the issue.
While you have a point. I feel like you should have the option with a regular sim too. Maybe they could put their phone number on the eSIM for the common users, and have the regular SIM for people who want it.
What I mean by this is that the majority of users would have eSIM while the users with more technological knowhow could have the regular SIM instead.
If Google could do something like that, I'd be less disappointed.
I don't think I have it backwards. I have technological knowhow and I'd rather have the physical SIM. I don't want eSIM as my main thing. Especially since I have devices that don't even support eSIM in case my main device breaks or something like that.
If your theory is true, I still don't want that.
