What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

I mean, technically an eSim at its simplest is just a QR code provided to you by your provider, just like they provide you a SIM card. None of their fucking business whether your device supports it.
The Pixel does support eSim and QR code setup.
T-Mobile will only support QR code setup for Samsungs and iPhones, though. You have to call in if you have a Pixel.
The QR codes aren't tied to any brand. Next time just tell them it's a Samsung phone.
They are for T-Mobile. I tried using it on my Pixel; it didn't work.
Okay, that sounds like a Tmobile problem, not an eSIM problem.
