You have to define which axis' you're using to define efficient. If I were an executive at some corporation, I'd tell my assistant to book me a flight to New York on Friday at 7pm and that takes me less than 10 seconds. It may take her a while longer, but that's her problem and that's what I pay her for.

How long is it going to take you to get to a device, load the app/webpage, tell it which airport you're flying from and going to and what date and then you start looking at options. You've blown way past the 10 seconds it took for that executive to get a plane flight.

Better is in the eye of the beholder. What's monetarily efficient isn't going to be temporaly efficient, and that's true along a lot of other dimensions too.

Point is, there are some people that like having conversations, you may not be one of them. you don't have to be. I'm not taking away your mouse and keyboard. I have those too and won't give them up either. But I also find talking out loud helps my thinking process though I know that's not everybody.
