no one builds rapport in zoom meetings?

no one builds rapport in zoom meetings where the company strangles the meeting space with an expectation of conduct and subject matter*

whole internet communities born around games which rely on communication are quite literally filled with (positive) remote rapport.

quite a few demographics have had long time remote-friends (i personally have had a few, one i practically grew up with from ages 9 to 23, and have stayed in contact with) -- never met them irl bc logistics are hard.

i just do not understand this notion of not being able to build relationships remotely -- it is a fiction.
