Same issues in Turkye. You have to track down a shop and they'll fleece you because they flat out refuse to sell you the cheap options under various pretexts. If you use the SIM for 6 months you have to register your IMEI, and if you don't they expire and you have to do it all over again. So yeah, having an eSIM is a big improvement.
