Many people don’t like to send voice messages in order not to get voice replies. Many people hate getting voice replies because they are not always able to hear them in public.

Some people don’t like to send voice messages for privacy concerns. Those people fear that their messages might be used against them if the wrong person accessed the phone. (See Why Do People Care About Online Privacy?)

Shy people might feel very embarrassed to use voice messages. Many shy people will prefer texting over voice messages when given both options.

Many people don’t consider voice messages a practical way of communication and they prefer a faster and more practical method to deliver the message.
