>Nowadays a lot of people are only available via SMS, and I don't have the patience to type out long messages there.

Whether its from school or work, everyone has an email address that they must check regularly. Anything longer than a three sentence text I'll just email.

Available for instant messages, that is. A lot of people treat email like it has a several day SLA. Many others just simply never check it.

Well yeah. Non work email is like a letter, I fell no pressure to answer quickly but answer I will.

Agreed, except I don't always answer.

Heck if work hadn't moved to slack I probably wouldn't answer most emails there either.
