I can't see why they wouldn't be

See how that sentence got that soft landing as opposed to this one that informs you of the nature of the statement it's at the end of? The first one doesn't direct you to get excited or to take the statement as a question, but it also doesn't give the hard ending of a period. It lets the sentence "breathe"

    I don't feel like it extends to long(er) form communication. Texting, absolutely.

    Hello

    is very different from

    Hello.

    in text. Or lol is "that's funny" and lol period is more "fuck you." Longer things makes punctuation more necessary.
