I have several counter-arguments to your statement.
Firstly, I do not know who is calling me. We here don't share phone numbers with people unless it's a delivery service or family, and generally we use messengers like Telegram, where sharing phone number is not necessary at all, and most of the time people here don't share it. When someone is calling me, 99% of the time it's a scam call, useless advertisement, or some automated bs.
Secondly, I do not respect someone taking my own time when another person feels like it. There is a reason for planning meetings at work ahead of time so that you can adjust your schedule accordingly. And phone calls ignore anything you have planned and can throw you out of your schedule for a minute or 30 minutes, you never know. I also consider texts much easier to understand if it's worth reacting right now or later. If I have a notification, I can know if I should react to it now or if I can postpone it for later. Most of the time calls aren't an emergency.
Thirdly, texts allow discussions to be asynchronous, meaning if I receive a question, I can think about an answer and search for something before spitting out my response. This is usually much more productive than sitting on a line and thinking about something in real time.
Texts also give you an option to attach additional context. No more "I'll send you a link", "I'll show you a pic" or "I'll check it after the call".
It's not about hating calls or whatever. It's more about the fact that texts are much more flexible and productive.
