I look at eSIMs much like i do physical copies of games: all electronic is more convenient, sure - but I don’t trust the carriers not to make freely transferring them between devices more difficult again once they have the vast majority of users dependent upon them. I’d rather have a physical SIM I can move freely between devices without allowing them the possibility of blocking it via software control.
The tank looks like what I wanted last time I bought a phone. Only seems to be missing eSIM, but that’s not a deal breaker.

Having both options is ideal. I see eSIM as more disposable, such as when travelling.
