What is the modern obsession with video calls?

I have been working for a company which allowed full remote work without any qualms since before COVID and nobody did video calls back then. Since we end up on site in secure environments we also just get told to disable the camera in the BIOS as part of our laptop hardening.

For things like bi-annual meetings with your manager you would go into your local office.

Not only that but the obsession with higher and higher resolution video calls. Lets upgrade the laptop cams. No wait lets use a mirrorless camera and a ring light. Meanwhile the upload speed from your home isp is still early 2000s tier speeds and zoom downsamples you to 144p.
