This should be far more secure and privacy friendly than a Sim card of a cellular connection. Why isn’t this done more often? What are the Pros and Cons. I bet the price is similar as well.

Can’t I just transfer my existing phone number, from any Pay As You Go SIM?

You can but they’ll find out. It’s reported or flagged or something, they can tell what provider holds a number and they block VOIP ones. Also if a number was ever previously a VOIP number do not try and transfer it back to proper cellular as it will still remain blocked for many but not all of these for years potentially.
