I also preferred email over teams.  For one, it was easier to have a paper
trail and also to have a more detailed conversation where you felt like you
had more time to think about your response.

struggling with an "always-on" work mentality to keep us distracted, or
maybe to burn us out so we need meds/drugs to keep going?  ;)
