Except it's not, you're getting deprioritized in times of congestion, so therefore you're low priority.
Many of these cheap plans come with no caller id, no spam protection, no sim swap protection and no discounts on newer phones.
The sim swap protection alone is worth the few extra dollars.
Have you ever had your sim/phone number swapped to somebody else's phone who can then verify authentication texts from banks and wipe you out.
It happens every day and it's a pure nightmare.
The big 3 have layers of SIM swap protection after learning the hard way.
But by all means buy your store brand.
