iPhone XS E-sim locked to carrier?

[noobinator]

Does this mean your device is permanently e-sim locked to your carrier? How does this work?

You can have maple eSIM's from different carriers. You can also erase any particular eSIM from your phone, according to the Apple document. Unless I am not understanding correctly, I don't see how locking a eSIM is possible on the phone.

Good question.

I just remember hearing someone here say the major us carriers would be e-sim locking these.
