Your carrier needs support for eSIM, which may be the holdup.

I’m not sure it’s so straightforward. There are networks that support eSIM for other devices. Maybe this is an Apple partnership issue, rather than a technology one?

It has to be more than that because Google Fi doesn’t seem to support them.

Google Fi doesn't seem to support any kind of watches or tablets like other carriers do, they probably don't have the billing infrastructure to support it (why that is, considering it's Google, I don't know).
