You also need to factor in the cost of getting a new phone number. If creating an account without a phone number is significantly more expensive than just buying a burner SIM, it defeats the entire purpose.
Here in Austria, I’ve seen SIM cards for as low as €2.
Aren’t they free? I would think any carrier would jump at the occasion to get you on their network. Besides you’ll have to purchase service anyway so charging for the SIM seems like a dick move. Unless you meant that the 2€ includes some form of service.

I just checked again, the offer is now €4 and includes 100 minutes/sms/megabyte.
