I guess I would be wondering, in general, if I were to get one of these phones would I at least get the same ability I have with my 4G AT&T SIM card that I use with my Moto phone now? In other words can it connect like other 4G AT&T phones can do now? Sounds like the answer might be "not quite"? Thanks.

You will get all the US at&t and t-mobile bands that were available at the start of 2019. Yes 4g. What you will not get are the longer range t-mobile bands that are not in this chip (band 66 and 71). Also there is an issue with 2g, 3g bands that are being dropped in a couple of years and refarmed for 4g/5g. This may affect the functionality of the phone depending on how that plays out. I may have missed it, but I didn't see Pine's answer about whether they have registered their their phones with US carriers which would enable VoLTE and solve the band refarming issue (as would replacing the module with an EC25-AF
So, in short, without having one in hand, on paper you should be good to go for a few years, but after that maybe not so much. I'm still getting one, but i plan on performing surgery on it and seeing if I can swap the module. I'd be much happier if I could get one with a North American aligned module, or none at all! I have a registered module sitting right here waiting that came from another product
