Swapping sims is easier now. You scan a QR code, wait 30 minutes, restart phone and you’re good to go. No need to wait for a sim card to be mailed to you. No need to purchase a sim card in the local store.
But if I am trying to debug some mobile connection related thing I can’t be waiting 30 minutes to swap it back and forth every time. Then I won’t be able to solve the problem in a timely fashion.
That isn’t the normal use of a smartphone. For the average person who rarely changes network and doesn’t debug connectivity issues eSIM is the better option.
Well, yes, under normal circumstances things work properly and do not need to be debugged. But generally eventually any system encounters abnormal circumstances, and one does not want the correct answer to be “give up on that system forever and go home”.
