What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

eSim is a good thing.
Sure, but current pixels support esim and regular sims. As someone who hops around phones often sim cards are unbeatable
Idk what you're experience with esim and switching phones is but Google Fi does it pretty much instantly for me. I've switched back and forth between my s21 and pixel 7 multiple times and never had an issue.
I disagree, but that's my opinion.
Why? It's like wanting a floppy drive when buying a new PC nowadays.
I'm exaggerating a bit, but physical SIMs will be redundant soon enough, no idea why you need a slot so bad?
