You are basing this on the assumption that every single carrier uses eSIM, which they do not.

Not every single carrier supports eSIMs, no, however in the US the current providers that support eSIMs are:
AT&T
Boost Mobile
Caroline West Wireless
Cellcom
Credo Mobile
C Spire
FirstNet
H2O Wireless
Nex-Tech Wireless
PureTalk
Red Pocket
Spectrum Mobile
Straight Talk
Strata Networks
T-Mobile USA
Tracfone
UScellular
Verizon Wireless
Xfinity Mobile
So most of them. Plus more will provide them if Apple continues to roll them out.
And for the ones that don’t, you can use an app that acts as a SIM for that network, allowing you to use an eSIM.
The only real technical reason for carriers to keep physical SIM cards is to dissuade people from switching networks as it’s more of a hassle.
