Same here.
It's usually some kid playing while chewing something as domestic affairs are sorted out (in a wide variety of languages) in the background.

I will chat away when I feel like it, but response is usually, well, absent.

  I feel that all the chatters and the social types seek out like minded players, form platoons/friend groups and use private VoiP.
  The remainder of VoiP users typically offer a sometimes entertaining, sometimes concerning and oftentimes annoying look into their personal lives.

@TTZ_Dipsy True, but not everyone who turns on voice chat will actually be using a mic, as demonstrated by many other multiplayer titles that have VC on by default.

The main issue is that when voice chat is set to "off" you can't hear your teammates. So those of us on console that do use voice chat in-game for coordination (& dont have the ringing phones, pets, TV's, or heavy breathing) can't help/guide new players or remind new players that they need to ptfo, revive, etc.
