This is an interesting observation, which I appreciate, as the devil is
always in the details (and Googl MARKETING main claim of "simplicity" is
being stressed by the observations below...).

Googling, this seems to say the data-only SIM is a secondary SIM in that it
*shares* the original SIM's data allocation.

Use Project Fi with tablets & other compatible devices
https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6330195?hl=en

1. The data-only nabi SIM is only given as a *secondary* SIM
2. It shares the data on the primary (phone) SIM
3. No tethering allowed
4. The data-only nano SIM is not locked to any particular device (but *can*
be used on phones!)

So much for Google MARKETING's main claim of "simplicity"...
