I completely agree for myself, but can't agree for everyone. I game occasionally with a good friend who struggles to read. It's not that he's unintelligent or illiterate, it's just not something that he's had as much practice in as I have. I was a straight A student who got in trouble for reading during lectures; he got Cs and didn't read anything he didn't have to. I read for pleasure and education and have bookshelves in most rooms of my house, he doesn't have any books on any shelves in his house. I spend all day reading and typing at work, he really just talks to people and listens to them. He reads about 100 words per minute, slower and more inaccurately on multisyllabic, setting-invented, or technical words. I speed-read/skim at 500 wpm or subvocalize for complete comprehension at about 250. In games where we're presented with a wall of text for a quest or infodump I'm done in seconds and ready to jump back into the action he's on the second line and has forgotten what we were doing when the text popped up. It's a completely different experience for him. He'd always prefer narration and voice acting, I'm always chomping at the bit waiting for these slow speakers to get to the end of the sentence. It's a lot less vexatious for me if there's no text, because I can't read ahead, but the cutscenes are more of an interruption.
