You must be joking.
If someone is so rude as to make an unscheduled voice call, they go
direct to voicemail. If it was important they would have sent a text.

It's possible you're observing a cultural shift that I haven't been
exposed to. I know that my son, who is 32, ignores voice mails and
didn't even set up a mailbox until he'd had his cellphone for over a
year. However, I have always been surprised by how quickly both he and
his friends check ANY signal from their cellphones, so I think my
point is valid, at least for the millennial generation.

Subject: Apple Fined $8.5 Million for Illegally Collecting iPhone
Owners' Data for Ads
The company harvested iPhone owners’ data for targeted ads without
proper consent, a French regulator ruled. It's a rare privacy misstep
for Tim Cook.
By Thomas Germain
Your iPhone protects your privacy—from everyone except Apple, apparently.
France’s data protection authority, CNIL, fined Apple €8 million
(about $8.5 million) Wednesday for illegally harvesting iPhone owners’
data for targeted ads without proper consent.
It’s an unusual sanction for the iPhone maker, which has faced fewer
legal penalties over privacy than its Big Tech competitors. Apple
makes privacy a selling point for its devices, plastering “Privacy.
That’s iPhone.” across 40-foot billboards across the world. The French
fine, though, is the latest addition to a growing body of evidence
that Apple may not be the privacy guardian angel it makes itself out
to be.
