Texting for Talaq

I don't understand this issue [1]. Texting is principly no different from sending a letter or using Morse Code (or any form of long distance communication eg email, phone, telegram etc etc) so why is this problem vexing the Scholars?

As far as I'm aware Talaq can ONLY be accepted if the male says it in front of a qualified Judge with the wife alongside him. All these other exotic methods are irrelevant and inconsequential. Of course in situations where either party is unable to attend, he/she can be represented by legal representation. Isn't this beginning to sound like the 'Western' System?
