the quality of analog phone calls hung on the quality of the equipment, mostly the cables (and distance), whereas the quality of voip (or volte for that matter) depends mostly on the quality of the codec used. ime both can be shitty or "crystal clear" but i totally agree that having a cell phone call today, with worse quality than an cross-continent analog connection in the 80s is very depressing
