I would say its less malice than incompetence. However they are pretty strict on network and if OP had a physical SIM it would work. Having a rooted non sighed os and an SW eSIM is a potential security issue so I can see why they could have concerns.
Now if you want to see hostile, try AT&T. They literally block most Androids, don't allow 5G/wifi calling for almost anything not AT&T branded (iPhones OK), and cricket is even further worse and also artificially limits hotspots in many cases.
Tmobile is typically cool with anything, but YMMV on bands.
In any case most of these issues are w/ Androids not iPhones.
I had Verizon up until VoLTE became the preferred calling and I could just drop my SIM card into whatever phone I bought as long as it had CDMA+LTE using the frequencies needed by Verizon. I never had any issues with that and in fact I had fewer issues with phone swapping with Verizon than I do with AT&T now. If I SIM swap too many times on AT&T, then my service gets disabled until I speak with support, which REALLY sucks on AT&T Prepaid. And I couldn't even use my Pixel 6a on Cricket because they block VoLTE if your phone isn't on their stupid whitelist.

What happens if you port your number from a different provider, then you're not satisfied, and decide to cancel after day 29? Do you have to go through the process with registering back with your original provider?
