Every time I've transferred my eSIM to a different phone, I had to get a QR code regenerated.

Physical SIMs can be swapped in seconds.

Was your experience of transfer simpler?

Have you ever switched SIMs continuously, in an ad-hoc way, because you had more SIMs than phones? This isn't that unusual if you're on a road trip or, especially, if you're relocating.

I haven't used an eSIM. Is regenerating a QR code more onerous than driving to a store to buy a SIM or waiting for one to arrive in the mail?

When I wanted to get new phone service, I could so instantly without getting the physical SIM, i.e. waiting for it to be shipped to me, or going to a store.
