A 10 second convo is a two liner question I can shoot of via chat any time, not even needing to look for (and still fail or mistake) unbusy persons (and with a small team chat even broadcast to multiple people to also solve finding the unbusy person)? There are always many perspectives.. I have also seen introverts cope much better that way than approaching IRL. Heck you can even combine, "let me know when you are not busy to quickly explain me X" providing already the question async way, and then have the call or real desk meeting afterwards?

Also just not getting that, hitting the call button (or a real phone call) was always quicker and easier than walking two floors down to another room just to find the person not at its desk. Where is the hurdle?

Really, just not getting it ;) What's to be solved? I see it may be a problem or hurdle for some, but for others the bigger hurdle is the opposite way. Don't extrapolate, generalize and state it like fact, because that is imo not true for everybody and may be the other way round.
