This never happens
My parents came to visit my over xmas and installed Airalo to get a local SIM. Activation failed, the support AI bot re-issued the eSIM, activation failed again, it got escalated to human support, they asked for a refund, and 12 hours later randomly the phone popped up an "eSIM activated!" message. That would have sucked if you actually relied on needing the SIM on landing.
