Verizon unable to unlock iphone

I recently purchased and activated an iphone 16 pro from Verizon. My old phone was an iphone 16 from Verizon that I used for 3 months, but it never unlocked after 60 days.  Both phones have eSIMs.  I want to give my old phone to a friend that needs a phone, but he needs it unlocked.  I contacted Verizon customer service 3 times, gave them the IMEI,  and they were not willing/able to unlock it.  Is this because my old phone is no longer being used?  Should I switch the old phone back to being my primary phone temporarily, and then try having them unlock it?
