You're not the only one. It's just that there is a massive industry teaching people that effective communication and active listening involves staring into peoples eyes and giving constant affirmation with noise that they are being listened to. Something that in other cultures can be considered highly offensive and rude by the way.

So no, you're not the only one, but unfortunately, you, just like me, are a silent minority. Although in some of my previous engagements building efficient highly distributed teams have spent a lot of time teaching people to work asynchronously. Which made the few time limited calls extremely effective.
