That sound similar to the bad writing technique of "character X did action Y because the plot needed Y to happen somehow", which cheapens character X and makes them seem less like a real person and more like a puppet for the authors.

Like when characters don't explain a situation. It drives me crazy. So many Hollywood stories hinge on the fact that people can't/don't communicate.
One of my big concerns is that people will see the lack of communication as normal acceptable behavior and emulate it, the show will either not address it or will explicitly excuse it. They’ll see the negative outcomes as incidental and faults from the other characters.
