The counterpoint to that is that for the same SNR where you're at barely (or not at all) audible or garbled on analog, you have absolutely clear digital audio.
Yeah, and with most comms being stereotyped, most messages carry little data, meaning you can easily add redundancy and still take up the same or less airtime. You will still need plaintext messages for complex situations, but even that can be transmitted more clearly and efficiently with digital encoding.
