Some people are better communicators in person while others are better using written communication.

Working from home changes the relative value of certain skills. It make sense why people would be resistant to their own devaluing.

The work place is competitive and no one likes to see the rules of game change in way that disadvantages themselves.

People who are not good at writing can always use skype, I dont understand why its so difficult to think of. It's a solved problem a long time ago.

Video not the same as in person. If it is for you then maybe you don’t appreciate some aspects of in person communication.
