>But it sure would have been nice to keep separate numbers the same way it's sometimes necessary to keep separate google accounts.
In Sweden, you can request a pre-paid SIM be sent to you in the mail[0].
To be fair, it's not entirely a "burner" SIM, as it's associated with your personnummer but it's a lot more convenient than queuing in a shop (if that's not your thing).
Maybe your country has a carrier that does the equivalent? :)

In the US, I can walk into a store and pay cash for a $30 flip phone without any ID, and unlimited talk and text. 15 years ago it was $150 and 200 minutes talk, 20 texts.
