Why not make a phone call instead of sending a voice message?

Because it's asynchronous?

I briefly worked with a Russian who would do this, and the asynchronousity was the reason he gave.

It was super annoying to be around him when he did it; at least it was Russian, if it was English it would be very distracting.
