uhh
text chat will still exist, and most people will probably use text chat. people who can't hear ofc are at a disadvantage if a reasonable amount of players in the server are using mics to talk instead of chat, but if it's important and they aren't responding to voice, generally i think it's thought of to use text instead to get attention

the disadvantage is that text chat takes a considerable amount of time to send a message as apposed to simply
holding down a key and talking to your mic

you can't configure that for an RP
+ nobody would use it anyway

yes, but people are already used to it
what you're saying is comparable to "people enjoying the current highest-end graphics hardware are at an extreme disadvantage now that this new hardware has come out that's twice as more good better"
like "yeah, but i mean that's probably still adequate even though it takes a few more milinanners to render a parsec"

good point
but it's still bad for people with hearing issues
