Not only can you speak quicker than you can type,

I'm not exactly "young" anymore but I can type on a keyboard waaaaay quicker than I can speak.

But the article is specifically talking about "face to face". Getting a couple people to jump on a Teams call to sort something out isn't something impossible for Gen Z.

They just don't like the "face to face" bullshit that comes with working in an office.

I'll take a team meeting online on a call over having to do it in person, everyone show up early, and all the distractions that come with an in person meeting. It just wasted time for "socializing" with people you don't want to socialize with. Co-workers don't need to be friends, and definitely aren't family.

Gen X and Y are the same, it's just Gen Z is the first to be overwhelming raised by those two generations.

X/Y can put up with it because we grew up with people like that.

For Gen Z it's literally like having to put up with their grandparents bullshit, something they only had to tolerate infrequently, and recent graduates just went thru years of distant learning.

So they know all the "face to face" shit is extreneous

Most english conversations are conducted at 110-150 words per minute, unless you're a 1% level typist (or have a speech issue) you can definitely talk quicker than you type.

This is true, but on the other hand, no one can really interrupt you typing, and reading is faster than listening, so depending on the group it may still be more efficient.
