It would matter to me. Reports and summaries are prepared by staffers. You get a lot more information in a face-to-face oral briefing. For instance, how well the people you rely on actually know what they are doing.
Intelligence briefings prepared by “staffers”? LOL

I was a senior officer at a fortune 500 company for many years. Although we prepared thousands of reports over the years, our CEO and CFO never read any of it and preferred to be briefed orally. If you passed out anything during the presentation they would give it back at the end of the meeting. Busy people don’t have time to read and prefer to get oral updates. At least, that was the way with all the people I ever worked for, and they were extremely smart people.
