You are incorrect; all phones have a SIM card. You are also incorrect

Here is one example (from the tracfone lg420g):

Wrong. All GSM phones have SIM cards. CDMA phones typically did not. My
TracFone is CDMA since I live in Verizon territory and does not have a
SIM. My Verizon MiFi does have a SIM but that is because of the 4G LTE,
not the CDMA.

Sprint had a habit of soldering in GSM SIM cards in their "world" phones
(CDMA/GSM) so you had to roam in Europe through Sprint at high prices
rather than inserting a prepaid SIM purchased in the country you were
visiting.

Tracfone's BYOP SIM card is actually two SIM cards, one for Verizon, one
for AT&T. You choose the one that is for the phone you are bringing with
you and discard the other one.
