Hmm I don't really want apps to be able to be messing around with my esims. Just give me a QR to scan. Simple enough.

The operator decides which apps can interact with a given esim. Wasn't this supposed to be a general purpose computer? Why can a service decide which apps I can use to access which features of my own device?

Does this mean that malware can redirect all my calls by installing an esim with no user interaction?
