Here we go again

Why do most stories use the non-communication trope? Most problems can be solved (sometimes easily) if characters just sat down and said, hey here is what’s happening. If they did, the story could be taken from there and still be compelling! The non-communication, I can take care of everything myself, only for you to find out later, get mad, have me apologizing profusely only to do it again group drives me crazy. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
