I wonder if people still try to call and reconfirm, or if this is just legacy text that was never removed.
There are likely seniors amongst us who, based on what they were taught to do in a different era, continue to do things like call to reconfirm.

Some/many of them probably have printed itineraries, print each and every reservation, get printed copies of their boarding passes, etc.
