I'm a long time gamer myself. ....let's just say I'm past the half century mark. 😉
Personally, I don't miss it but then again, I've never saw the allure of trash talking others. I play games for fun and friendly competition. What I have found is that it is mostly those who trash talk that are taking the game and themselves much too seriously. I'd rather move on to a new game and use the report feature (if available) if I think someone is hacking, cheating, taking advantage of exploits, etc. ....camping doesn't bother me. I have never seen a situation where calling someone out has ever really made a difference other than getting them kicked out from the session if that's an option.
What I do hate is that they didn't include voice comms in the game upon release. All indicators were pointing to an implementation shortly after launch but that hasn't materialized. I use PS party chat with my friends so in-game comms are not as important to me but they are huge part of these types fo games for a lot of people. I also like to listen in (in games where it's possible while in party chat) to find those who seem to want to play as a team. We will gravitate towards those people more and lend support. In games like Insurgency Sandstorm, we've even broken party chat when we notice people on our team are actually communicating.
Anyhow, I hope that they at least get voice comms going in this game. .....as that, IMO, is more important than global chat for the sake of ribbing the other team, giving kudos, etc.
