You could but a sim can only store numbers and contact details extend waaaaaay beyond just a phone number

Why not back them up in a gmail acount ?

The most likely reasons is that they don't want their contact phone numbers and possibly also the associated physical addresses and the rest being stored anywhere near the data mining company that is called Gmail/Google

Then don't use an Android smart phone then, or any smart phone for that matter.

:rotfl::rotfl: Too late...
I'm sure you can think of many other places all that information is stored. Your phone is being tracked by someone somewhere, whether you buy into Google or not.
Your car is tracked, wherever it goes. You are tracked in any city centre. etc. etc.
Your supermarket probably knows more about you than Google.

If you don't want to use gmail to back the numbers up then use the old fashioned way of pen and paper.

Then use another carddav server like Nextcloud.

Must be something lacking in the Samsung phone user instruction.

OH just bought a Galaxy A5, and it came with no instructions at all. Not even a basic 'get you started' guide. There's a PDF buried in the phone somewhere, but ...

I shudder to think of a typical pensioner getting something similar, and trying to cope with it.....
