Because texting is a particularly shitty way to communicate with people who aren't good at it. Which is 99% of the world. Why be intentionally obtuse? If you've ever texted more than 3 people you absolutely know what I'm talking about.

I've texted and exclusively used text-based chat programs almost exclusively for over a decade, yes it's a skill that needs to be practiced to become better at, but it's not like it's impossible.

For work for instance, I have had people be like, "can I just call you because it'd be easier to explain," no sorry I'm busy, they then write out like two sentences and I can answer in one. Nah fam, it's not that hard to just put your thoughts or question in text.

The biggest issue I see is tone is hard to control in text if you're just very terse with your writing style, but people have that issue with talking too sometimes lol
