Yep that's a fair point. I guess it depends on whether the nature of the communication is operations based or project based. For day-to-day operations where you may get lots of small queries and messages throughout the day, I vastly prefer text chat for this as opposed to someone calling me every 5 minutes, or sending a tonne of separate emails.
For more structured meetings, project planning/reviews etc. then I totally agree that blocking at the time and having a call can be a better way to do it.

Of course this just goes back to the grandparent's point - its all subjective and depends on how the individuals and teams work. There is no One True Solution with how to communicate as a team.
