Maybe a silly question, but without video isn't this obviously fake? Or is it normal for all participants on a call to be audio only?

Depends on the company. At my last job it was rare for anyone to have video on in remote meetings, and at my current job it's rare for anyone to have video off.

It's normal in many places for the only video to be shared screen

Pretty normal. Camera's usually stay off unless it's a 1-1, presentation, or maybe a VP level call.

If you find use for this tool, chances are good that you're in an place where all the participants would be audio only

Depends on the company, the team, the agenda etc

Totally normal. The only time I ever used my camera is conducting interviews.
