On your last point about it being easier to do a side task while in a meeting. It is annoying that when someone is talking about something important and then they ask someone else in the meeting:“What is your team doing about it?”, invariably the response is “doing about what? Can you repeat the question?” Delaying and extending meeting time.
Or later asking questions about what was said in the meeting. Really annoying.
And by the way, probably all of us have at some point been the distracted one.

Thats why you have the phrase about a meeting that should have been an email.
