Have a look at basically any other text-only messenging service/app. Slack, Signal, Threema, WhatsApp and dozens of other similar services started out as text-only and added voice/video chat afterward. None of their protocols were originally designed vor video chat and none of them supported it initially.
There’s even an IRC extension that allows video chat over IRC.
Using eMail for video chat isn’t really an option.
Lol. That’s not how anything works. You also cannot use a hammer to replace the SSD in your computer. Sometimes you need to pick up a screwdriver instead.
What you want is the ‘everything app’. Go ahead and talk to Elon Musk. See how that is progressing 🙃
You can’t use You can’t use Slack for Video Calls? Or Teams? Or Signal? Or Threema? Or WhatsApp? Or Facebook Messenger? Or almost any other 1:1 chat app/protocol that survived long enough?
All of my examples were originally text-only messengers meant for sending text messages, pretty similar to email.
And even email didn’t stay completely “pure”, as, over time, it evolved file attachments.
If you subscribe to the old Unix mantra of “one tool, one purpouse”, then yes.
If you prefer convenience and the ability to accomplish things, then no.

So people never accomplished anything on Unix?
How many people do you know who still run actual Unix? (Unix, not Unixoids, which, for the most part, don’t follow that old Unix mantra)

By this logic you would be using email for video calls if you just patch in a Jira widget in your email client
