You can see this today with some eSIM providers. I’ve just travelled outside Europe one month ago and tethering could not be enabled until I changed to a different provider on an iPhone 15 without carrier contract.

eSIM is another way of providers to lock customers, working around lack of contracts, not something I ever plan to use as long as pre-paid SIM cards are a reality.

Thanks for pointing out that example.
