Seriously, other than your spouse, there are probably few people you want to look at while talking on the phone. Most of us are busy doing something and video requires 100% concentration since the person on the other end of the call can see what you are doing. There are other cases of course where having the video would be nice, but having video means more work to have the conversation and it doesn't add much in the way of information exchange.
