I can understand the gripe about people who don't respond promptly during a chat and I too sometimes just call people like that, but in my experience much of the time when someone wants to "hop on a call" they essentially want me to hold their hand through something that can be easily and clearly explained in a few sentences of text (maybe with a link to an article). It seems to be more about personal comfort than any efficiencies in communication. Which is fine ultimately, but it should be recognized as a preference rather than some panacea for communication woes.
