This prevents my day 1 purchase as well. My US carrier (Verizon Prepaid) doesn't support eSIM yet, and I don't want a postpaid plan. I see absolutely no reason

Getting a model from Canada is an option, but those don't support mmWave 5G, and I'm often in areas where I'd actually use it.

They want the industry to move on from physical sim to esim, so they are essentially forcing it to. I imagine the odds of Verizon Prepaid getting esim support in the near future have greatly increased since this announcement.
