> Even if you can have multiple eSIMs in a phone, switching carriers on the fly becomes effectively impossible (which is a big thing for carriers, and harks back to when US carriers did not use GSM).

He writes 'Even if'. There's no 'Even', it's the reality.

I don't understand the switching problem either. I used an e-SIM in Austria perfectly fine - disabled the data line on my primary SIM, enabled it on the e-SIM. I could have disabled the entire primary SIM if I'd wanted.

Switching carriers is easier with e-SIMs - you don't have to fiddle about with the tray.
