It tends to be cheap in money and expensive in time: a counter, your passport, an APN to configure, all in the local language, right off the plane. An eSIM is installed from home and the airport stops being an errand. For a long trip on a very tight budget a local SIM can pay off; for one or two weeks, almost never.
