You won’t, it’s a conscious trade off. Some people never put a sim or esim in their phone and have a separate dumb phone for calls, or separate hotspot

This vide explains the trade offs, reason, and approach of havjng a separate device for data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyirQOCUUK8

And this guy shares his approach of not having a sim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dei2buz1X0
