I think there might be a disconnect on how people handle calls in the first place.

At this point getting on a call is seen as a major chore for a majority of people. It's an already tense situation, trying to defuse it by "hopping on a call" is just not great IMHO. They should at least acknowledge they're putting undue burden on the other side and are asking them to go the distance when they're already volunteering their time.

I'm saying that setting aside the opacity of moving from an public to a private setup.

This is a pointer to a somewhat US related POV, but this is nether a generational thing nor a limited phenomenon:
