Being interrupted is a pain because it can derail your train of thought. But I think many people interrupt in order to avoid derailing their own train of thought by waiting and/or writing something down, or simply because nobody else will stop talking or pay attention to them.
I've also observed "full duplex" conversations where people overlap periodically but don't seem to have any trouble continuing. And I've been in meetings and zoom calls where you can't get a word in edgewise until the meeting is over.
I've tried to become more tolerant of people who seem to be interrupting to express something important in context.
