What was the “everything” you’re referring to? Physical sims can fail too, so not a good place to store a phone book if that’s what you mean.

Some providers are better than others at generating and replacing esims. The worst one I came across was Vodafone which removed passwords from their accounts and instead texted a code to log in - of course this is impossible without access to a sim, so good luck I suppose.

Sure, but often when a phone fails you can just buy a new phone (or borrow a temporary one) and be able to restore your connection without a carrier's intervention.
