    What are those privacy problems?

    I guess there’s the fact that you cannot anonymously purchase an eSIM.

    Anything else?

      That’s a big one. It introduces a privacy concern that traditional SIMs dont have, and if all phones use eSIM, there will be no alternative.

      As with many things tech, it’s a slippery slope, and short-term convenience leads to long-term detriment. But if you don’t care about privacy, then yes, enjoy the convenience of an eSIM.
