That’s unfortunate, at least in the UK all the (eSIM supporting) providers seem to offer the same capability.
As I’ve said elsewhere a physical SIM is slightly better in the situation where you smash your phone and buy a new one as you don’t need to connect your new phone to the phone shop’s WiFi for 5 mins (scanning the QR code is the quick way, you can just type an alphanumeric code in too, some carriers let you download it via an app). On the flip side though, if your phone is stolen, I still just need the WiFi for 5 mins. With a physical SIM, it would be sent to my home address and arrive a couple of days later.
Eh that’s not really the same. And reading this thread it seems many providers (including mine) don’t support online QR codes.
