For me it's a few reasons:

  1. It demands my attention right here, right now
  2. I don't know that it's going to happen, I cannot prepare
  3. Usually during the call I'm forced to hold the phone, meaning I can't look stuff up or write stuff down easily
  4. I fidn listening way harder than reading, and the quality of calls doesn't help with that

I much prefer text because it give some time to delay answering until it's convenient for me, look up answers to any questions I may have, and because I can re-read and think about stuff.

Calling is like an interrupt forcing me to drop everything there and then and immediately provide an answer, messaging is something I poll every now and then when I'm not overloaded or focused so I can actually take the time to answer.

You are perfectly allowed to say not right now, let's call tomorrow in the evening.

Texts are easy to forget and difficult to write.

In what way are they difficult to write?

And saying that is going to piss off a lot of folk. Nope. Best I can do is ignore the call and then send a message "can't now, will recall".

And saying that is going to piss off a lot of folk.

Who then might not call back at all, so it works out either way!
