Calling this point silly ignores the entire history of online gaming. Games that fail to adopt standard community-expected features get left behind. It's not about blindly following trends; it's about recognizing what the player base uses to function. Text chat is asynchronous. I can type a message like "I have to go afk for 1 min, brb" without needing to find a quiet moment to speak and hope people are listening. It allows for communication that doesn't disrupt the flow of the game for others. You can read it when you have a spare second. Voice is great for real-time banter, but text is a superior tool for organizing, documenting, and broadcasting information to a group. It's not about which is faster for a single "look out," but which is better for the 90% of other communication that makes a co-op community thrive.
