How would that bypass the firewall?

You can have a physical SIM alongside an eSIM. These days you may have to have at least one of them be an eSIM, as many phones only have one physical SIM slot.

This seems rather strawman-y

Where’s the part where he suffers?

Until services stop supporting it.

It’s 401 unauthorized or 403 forbidden, not 403 unauthorized

This would presumably mainly be an issue for computers open to the internet. So not so much for home PCs, unless the router’s firewall is opened up.

None of which changes the fact that it’s more expensive and clunkier, and none of which feels necessary.

So you need to change two settings instead of one to side load. Seems rather pointless.

A more expensive, clunkier product, with a bunch of needless fluff in it.
