A main mechanism for SMS insecurity is the ability to remove the SIM and put it into your phone to intercept the 2FA. That is no longer possible.

Yep. Apple is silly. You'll make note of this claim chowder for us won't you?

And right in the keynote was the comment "And for more casual uses also". Why don't you watch it before you comment?

This seems like an edge-case, requires physical access to the device, and can be defeated by a SIM PIN.

Most people are targeted by online-only attacks which social-engineer the carrier into doing a SIM swap - this would happen just as well with eSIM.
