On what planet is talking to your phone easier or faster than taking 2 seconds to tap the your email app and skim the headers O_o

Some phones and earbuds have dedicated buttons for this, making it faster to use that than switch between apps.
On my Pixel 4 it's just "squeeze to talk", which is super convenient (and also doesn't interfere with the "Hey Google" on my smart speaker). It's marginally faster to open e-mail by voice than by tapping, although not hugely so.
Does it need to be faster or does it just need to feel faster?
