The people in charge decided on their preferred ways of communication. You may believe that there are better ways out there, and I may even agree with you, but ultimately it's completely irrelevant. People responsible decided that this is what works for them and, to be honest, they don't even owe you an explanation. You're being asked to collaborate in this specific way and if you're unable to do it, it's on you. If you want to change it, work your way to become a person who decides on this stuff in the project, or convince the people already responsible. Notice how neither of those are technical tasks and that they don't depend on technical superiority of your proposed methods either.
...which doesn't matter at all.
