As I recall, there was some debate. Our experience at that point was that adding data in a side channel was a good way to augment a call and that DTMF didn’t do it, nor would server routed websockets.
The data channel discussion was framed around area I think.

Standalone data channel (with no associated call) came later and was a surprising success (at least to me).
