I would maybe say the same except there's one use case where esims are undeniably awesome: travelling. There are tons of apps that let you get very cheap esims in any country, so you basically never have to pay roaming charges ever again.
Before esims you would have to go and get a physical SIM from somewhere. I've done it before. It's possible, but it was much more of a pain than esims.
The only issue with them I've found is that they're delivered by QR code via email, and the only way to install them on Android (that works) is scanning a QR code with your camera. I had do ask someone to take a photo of my phone so I could scan that photo. facepalm
