The whole bit from the article:
> > You started a conversation by writing "Hi", or "Hello", or even maybe "Good morning Sebastian, I have a question". And then you waited. And waited. And waited for minutes (or hours if I was busy and you were patient) without a single word explaining what problem you were facing.
Yes, I've seen this in places, many places. Most times the person doing it immediately got guidance to stop doing it.
The only place where it persisted was a small shop where the founder and managers would also be doing it, and the technical team was leaking away at a speed I couldn't check for very long, as I was out pretty fast too. That could be one of the most clear sign they don't give a damn about online communication and won't care to adapt.
>...decide who should be part of the meeting
TBH I'm not sure to understand your answer. Of course I'm talking from my own experience, how could I speak for you ? Also, calls are costly, using them to understand who you're actually supposed to call feels wasteful. That can be done completely asynchronously in most cases.

This would be where "could we have a call?" matters,
As said first, words used with purpose provide a specific utility.
Nor did I mention messaging a whole channel? Whatever the situation you are envisioning, it is of your own experience that looks to be bleeding in.
