What a sane person would want to install a shitty carrier app just for that? There should be a way to do it via their web ui in the least

Well, my carrier's app isn't super shitty, actually. No ads, no bloat, just account management.

But... You get a new phone, you install the app and login to get your esim, then uninstall. Not exactly a difficult problem.
