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

Since physical sims are well physical items. They create ewaste. Whereas esim which is not a physical item, doesn't.

Just embrace better technology

In theory, I like esims.

In practice, I worry that the manufacturers/networks will screw us over somehow as you can't just take their SIM out...
