I have noticed this. If I eMail certain customer explanations

over two sentences.

This is REALLY AGGRAVATING when they ask for proposals. They
just discard them after you put hours into them. I have
thought of charging for my time. "I couldn't read it on
my phone". "And you could use your computer, why?"
AGGRAVATING!

I believe this phenomenon has its own acronym: TLDR. People no longer
have the patience or attention span to read or absorb detailed
information. Everything has to be fed to them in small, pre-digested
bites.

This has become a problem in general. If I write anything more than a
paragraph of text, many (most?) people won't bother to scroll down and
read the rest. If I ask, say, 3 questions, I'll get an answer to the
first one and they probably never even see the last two.

My family has become like this. They won't completely read my emails,
and they rarely answer the phone. They respond to text messaging only,
which is totally inadequate for real communication.
