It needs to be as much plug and play as the physical SIM is. Just send me the installer or whatever, one click, done. Also, it needs to be worldwide compatible. If I'm going on holiday in Ecuador say, I'd need to be able to just add a new e-sim for the duration of my holiday, and switch it as soon as I'm back. All on my own, no extra fussing about.
But something tells me e-sim will be implemented in such a way that's high friction and difficult to easily swap, so that you are more likely to stick with your carrier and use their overpriced roaming rates, rather than buy a 10$ sim abroad with unlimited gigs. Also more of a pain in the ass when trying to change carrier.
I still remember the early 2000s, when you had to change your number if you wanted to switch carrier... That was a fucking nightmare
You've obviously never used an esim.
