Because you're substandard garbage provisioned for embedded devices pretending to be cell phone service, re-packaged in an eSIM (or physical SIM for lagdroid) format

Cell phone networks have the following priority:
1) Organizational network purchases such as 911/emergency providers and large firms for internal use
2) Regular cell phone network voice and data for regular subscribers paying monthly as registered customers (may or may not be contract, but never prepaid). When you roam in any other country from your normal service provider, you are on this level
3) Prepaid phone voice and data service, poor people who pay ahead of time monthly because you can't be trusted with money, service cuts off if unpaid immediately
4) Data only service, no real phone number provided. When some scumbag reseller buys up these they add a substandard VoIP add-on and sells to stupid foreigners at airports, this is what you're buying
5) Cheap as shit data service that slows down dramatically or routes though shitholes like Hong Kong because these are originally data services provisioned for appliances, (non-phone) work devices, and other such things. Frequently re-packaged as "global eSIMs" for the truly retarded who don't understand how businesses work or how cell phone networks sell priority (and when you have no priority at all, nothing works)
