Sims die from time to time and if you travel is nice to be able to switch to country specific sims without having to exchange something physical.

That said not sure what app thing you talk about, mine is a qr you can scan and gets added to the phone and that's it.

But is the QR reusable? If not, you'll have to somehow prove your identity or existing number ownership to get a new one.

In my experience, yes. I've used the qr to transfer a sim to a new phone as well.

Uhm... Not sure πŸ€”... If it isn't I guess it will be similar to Sims you have to login in account or in the worst case go to a shop of your providers and request a new one I guess. I mean when I requested my e-Sim last time it was by email and just providing the national id number (not from USA), so it was pretty trivial maybe too much πŸ˜…. And for travel you just register and pay and you get it, not much validation although usually what I got was data only, no calls.
