Although this my be specific to my org, meetings are an excuse for PMs and non tech to just "talk things out". No requirement comes in written form and no meetings are recorded in written form. This gives them a safe passage to modify the requirements as and when they see fit.

Apart from this, for meetings which are not recorded, they can/do always say that they didn't say something when they actually did and when caught red handed they get defensive and live in denial.

IMO, written communication helps people articulate it better and hold them accountable as well.
