It has nothing to do with 3G and below.

I've always had a sim card because I've always been on GSM networks.

The phones without sim cards were CDMA / TDMA networks.

Regardless, I prefer having my phone number and hardware device separate.

If my phone breaks I have a spare one I can quickly switch my sim into. If the phone number is attached to the hardware I need to go to a store and buy a new phone.
