FFS, the physical SIM port is still there...
the nano sim port is still there - and will always be there.
No manufacturer wants to actively exclude a massive market because you can't insert your own sim.
The soft sim is for TEMPORARILY switching providers - yes, that list is controlled by apple/google but i bet very quickly you're going to get a large number of operators, both real and virtual.
It's in apple/google's interest to make list as large as possible to give users choice when travelling
