In most developing countries you can buy a SIM card with a decent data plan for a very low price. If you rack up a huge roaming bill in this day and age you're simply an idiot.
Yeah eSIMS are great for this. You can buy them online and run multiple ones on your phone alongside your primary SIM.
The problem is that most Europeans got so used to EU mandated free roaming all over EU in the past decade that they probably forget how hard they will be screwed in someplace like Turkey.
