shouldn't the characters writing in text be the default?

Well, it's clear where you've gone wrong, anyway.

No, it's not the default. As in there is no reason to assume text over video or voice when both video and voice are generally more prevalent ICly. That makes text the exception. That makes it the one that's easier to differentiate with courier.

(1) courier looks more like a typewriter's text than computer text so it doesn't convey the right thing anyway,

Doesn't it? And who's the say the default font for their IC device isn't Courier? Why are you assuming it's Arial?

What you're hilariously saying is that it's your headcanon that the IC comm device doesn't use courier and you're mad when people imply it does.
