I don’t know that people necessarily expect immediate responses, I don’t think you’re an outlier. But the article is explicitly calling for accurate chat status for the purpose of being able to chat synchronously and immediately. And there are some behaviors that indicate, if not the expectation to get immediate chat responses, at least the signal of being unwilling to use chat until responses will be immediate. I’m referring to how some people start their conversation with “hi”, and wait to hear back before telling you what they want to talk about.
