I hate phone calls. Just despise. In part, because it requires someone to stop at least part of what they are doing and spend time talking to me. Messaging? The conversation can go on around other things. Let me know you are playing games and I can set my expectations for responses. Don't get back right away? Well, it probably isn't important and you know I thought about you, and you are free to get back to me when convenient. When my spouse and I lived on different sides of the atlantic (pre marriage), we could have discussions that transcended sleep and work schedules. Other folks, the discussion just ends, sometimes informally but sometimes in similar ways to phone calls. I hate video calls too, but I use them occasionally for family since I now live across an ocean, but only if they insist.
