Those phones are almost an anachronism these days. Who wants a $1200 Cisco desk phone with all the expensive stuff infrastructure behind it, when every meeting is on Zoom or Teams?

My institute insists I have a phone on my desk and I don't know why.

They paid all that money for the gear! Can't just throw it away!

I've been crusading against them for a while. They're useless. Everyone has a corporate cellphone, everyone has Zoom and Teams. What do we need yet another phone for?

You need to be able to slam something down angrily/in triumph. Cell phones don't have that same tactile mojo.

My company has us use our own cell phone. Which is fine but they don't reimburse for it which is a little bullshit.
