Some people are unable to chat socially via text only.
Since going full remote I've pretty much lost track of a bunch of work friends, since we don't directly work on the same thing and don't have a reason to chat on Slack. We used to hang out at work and lunches regularly.
I've been on IRC since 90's so having text-only friends I know only as a nickname is a completely normal, but it seems younger people need either voice or image to connect properly.

I'm the opposite. I have trouble getting along in the real world, voice, and video, but I comfortably joke and socialize in text.
