I am curious about that too (although others have already answered). I prefer typing over speaking.
But I have realized that a lot of people I interact with find it more difficult to understand information in written form. Ie it's easier to teach someone with spoken language than over written text.
Probably similar reason why, after about 5-6 back and forth cycles in a direct Slack chat, I will usually suggest we get open a voice call to finish the conversation. It is faster and the level of communication is better. Typing is slower and you don’t get nuance hence why some people use emoji.
I totally understand why the person above indicated that they preferred signing to typing.

I dislike video calls.
