Lots of eSIM companies popping up and Smarty is still lagging behind?
This is the Smarty community forum, we are Smarty customers, we do not work for Smarty, so asking “why are you dragging your heels on this Smarty ?” is obviously misplaced within this forum.
If you care to search, there are already lots of threads around Smarty and eSIM on this forum.
The fact is, Smarty do not currently offer eSIM, but again, as customers people on this forum, have no involvement in any business decisions of Smarty as a company, as to why they are not currently offering eSIM.
By the way, Smarty run on Three, its parent company. If the three signal is stronger in your area, then ID Mobile, owned by high street electrical retailer, Curry’s, and piggy backing on Three, do offer eSIM.
Myself and others prefer to use Smarty rather than pay Smarty’s uncompetitive prices.
SIM card going to landfill every decade or so ? You can always use SIM cards as guitar plectrums. Must be other uses too. 😉

Gash Did you read the advert first? It will only work if the ship uses Telenor.
What about the price? 250megabytes for 5euro over 30days - that's not a huge amount and the 1gigabyte for 15euro is only a bit better.
There are decent Esims for land use when outside the EU and they are usually cheaper.Also, a number of ships now use Starling to deliver wifi and I have found this to be reasonably fast and reliable. sometimes you can get free wifi as a perk.
