> It's just like a phone call from 30 years ago, but one that requires infinitely more processing power

There are folks who couldn’t, for a variety of reasons, do that thirty years ago. This feature is for them. The rest of us get to e.g. more naturally text a response to a call we’re listening into on a flight.

Voice memos? No. I would have to, at some point, speak it. If you’re referring to text-to-speech, there is a difference between having your speech read in a different voice and your own.
