I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I know people who traveled for months, and they have half a dozen eSIMs on their phone. When they enter one of those countries, they just toggle the sim to active and it’s good to go. They do this all the while having a USA physical sim as well. This on iPhone btw.

Okay but how do you get local prices if there is no local eSIM? The best you can hope for is a travel SIM which may be multiple times more expensive than a local SIM.
If you can’t find one then i guess you can’t get local prices, but I’ve never had a problem getting an esim, including in Albania and Turkey. You just go to the a carrier store and you ask, scan a QR code, and you’re done. Most of the time the big cities that you would arrive in anyways will have them.
