I have seen "meaningful, revenue-driving conversation happen", and I do find Zoom calls kind of irritating. I think the real issue is that this tech has exposed the fact that urban planning in the US is awful unless you're in New York City or something similar.

People just don't want to sit in traffic on the freeway for two hours a day for a serendipitous conversation that probably won't happen most of the time. If you think about it that way, it makes perfect sense.
