Generally long emails are hard to process. And most are multi-tasking when an email comes in. Even now I will often type a bunch of stuff and if the reply is longer than a paragraph, or needs multiple replies/input i will just ask for a 10 minute call.

And even today when this was done, We addressed the context of the email and I helped with 3 other things that werent on topic in 10 minutes. So it was a better use of time (and I do acknowledge plenty of meetings are totally useless, even ones I have called...)
