But it they are in the middle of something they could lose half a minute of time instead of 5 seconds checking a text. It's the same as opening a phone call with 'got time to talk' but more efficient.

Phone calls are never thirty seconds. It's always fluffed up by twenty minutes of "how are you" and "what are your plans next week" like fam I'm trying to do the dishes and had to scramble to pick up the phone with wet hands, go away

It adds up. Why waste other people's time? I think it can be inconsiderate.

If you think talking to a loved one on the phone for 30 seconds is a waste of time, you might want to evaluate your priorities.
