I wonder if this is another unstated motivation for RTO? A much larger portion of my day-to-day conversations are over text than when I worked in an office.

This has a huge upside - when I can't remember what someone said to me about something two months ago, I can search! But I'm sure it makes legal nervous. (I don't think I'm personally working on anything that would get us sued - but some folks in my fortune 500 co. doubtlessly are)

Not really - video calls are not subject to disclosure/obligated to be recorded, so it's the same as in office - if you want to avoid a record, call someone and don't take notes.
