Why Gen Z & Millennials are hung up on answering the phone

I don't really get the whole not answering the phone thing. I hate phonecalls but I always answer my phone.
The amount of important calls I'd have missed if I buried my head in the sand like that is insane.
Sure if 90% of the calls were sales or scams I'd think differently, but there are ways to prevent that too.
I find it weird that everyone has their phone on silent all the time too. If mine was on silent I'd never look at it unless I'm bored.

You realize that it still vibrates when on silent, so you know when you’re getting a text or phone call right?
-
Only if it's right by you or isn't in your bag or something. Hence audible alerts, they break through the physical barriers.

Important news almost never comes via phone call. It comes in the mail or via email.
-
Tell that to the delivery driver that called me because they were outside with my groceries.
-
I get those notifications via text message.
-
Cool, with the phone on silent (which I don't do) I'd have missed that too, and would have been cancelled and rescheduled.
This adamant denial that phone calls are useful is weird.
-
I never said they're not useful for anyone. They're not useful for me.
