Code review is rarely done live. It's usually asynchronous, giving the reviewer plenty of time to read, digest, and give considered feedback on the changes.

Perhaps a spicy patch would involve some kind of meeting. Or maybe in a mentor/mentee situation where you'd want high-bandwidth communication.

Doing only IRL code reviews would certainly improve quality in some projects :)

It's probably also fairly expensive to do.

My first job did IRL code reviews with at least two senior devs in the loop. It was both devastating and extremely helpful.
