We're all professionals - we can learn new skills when they're high-value (like updating tickets with written communication)
I don't like the sentiment that developers doing things out of their comfort zone (like using JIRA) is unreasonable. Just get over it and be a professional.
That said, it's on others to motivate the use of such tools. It's easier to get buy-in when everyone understands the value.

Or communicators at all. It's like pulling teeth to get some of them to expand on "oh, it's blocked, I have to talk to Bob"
In my experience most people don’t regularly post summaries of their progress on their ticket. Even getting certain people to update their ticket descriptions at all (to add test instructions or to reflect that they decided to do something other than originally described) usually requires reminders.
This may depend on team culture but in my experience a lot of people just aren’t written communicators.
