I believe that eSim is the future. Despite all the advantages you describe, it's also a very environmentally friendly technological solution. We don't have to spend tons of plastic to create a physical card. It's enough to download an application. Personally, I switched to eSim a long time ago. In particular, I use Yesim app (more details can be found on their official website yesim.app). It helps me a lot on business trips and travels, and most importantly, I don’t need to search for a local mobile operator or connect to a public Wi-Fi with the risk of losing my personal data. I advise everyone to choose eSim whenever possible. It's extremely convenient and, most importantly, secure for the user.
