We asked for VOIP - why isn't anyone using it?

Small sample size, I know, but I haven't been able to find anyone (in Oceania) using VOIP. This forum made such a big deal about it, so why don't players use it? The discussion about the EA survey ...

I don’t know about you guys but there is something helpful to say every 15 seconds. VOIP is absolutely essential once you get over social awkwardness. ( Hazard zone is totally useless without VOIP)  I used to be a shy person when younger. The world is a better place if we communicate and spread positivity. I am much happier person now. Try it. It can be addictive lol

The problem is that VOIP is missing essential options to make it usable. For Party and Squad chat, people are usually in Discord/TeamSpeak/... anyway, so no VOIP is needed for those instances (except maybe for those players that are not playing with friends).

But what would be nice to have is to be able to talk to other players in the vicinity, so some kind of proximity chat. Or to all in your vehicle.

OTOH I get that this might also be annoying when too many players are too close to each other. I guess there is no perfect solution. But Squad/Party VOIP is useless (at least AFAIC).
