It’s about respect for the other person, as I see it. You wouldn’t be a little miffed if your wife of 10 years sent you a “k thx bai (link to divorce papers)” instead of talking in person?
Context is everything. Yeah, your wife of 10 years deserves the face to face, more than once. A dude I dated for a few months that showed no emotional intelligence specifically told me he’d prefer a text. I obliged when I realized it wasn’t going anywhere and I didn’t want to keep up a casual relationship. He then asked to talk in person, though, and I again obliged.
I think its basic courtesy to put even a little effort to something as important as a breakup. Not doing it face to face or at least in a call removes the interaction completely. It’s taking the easiest possible path in a situation that will certainly affect the other person in a significant manner. It’s cold. Using a LLM for said text like in the meme is even lower effor and leaves the recipient feeling utterly worthless.
Basically the same thing as getting fired via email.
I never got what’s the deal with that. Sincerely. If there’s a break up, what’s the difference doing it by text, phone or in person.
My gut says me that people may prefer in person because they saw a better chance of avoid the breakup that way, but I’m not sure.
Other than that if it’s over it’s over, I don’t see the media in which the message is deliver. For all I care as if it’s via smoke signals.

I would fetch my divorce attorney shovel.
