This is not a good parallel. You can use any modern instant messenger like Telegram to talk to your friends as comfortably (or more).

It is a good parallel. Obviously if your relatives live on another continent, flying is the optimal, but for example you can ride a bus from SF to LA instead of flying.
You don't need planes to meet your distant relatives, but flying is often much more convenient than other modes of transportation.

Convenience is my reason. If you don't have reasons for yourself, that's fine, don't use it, but don't say for everyone.
