Cover letters for me are purely about written comms skills. More important than ever to validate that a candidate can express themselves concisely and clearly in a remote environment. Written communication is key to working asynchronously!

There's that, and there's also the sheer volume of competition you're going up against for those roles. You *have* to differentiate yourself as much as possible.
Totally agreed on entry level roles where you need to shine to be noticed. But letters can also be a be a source of unconscious bias against people who don't speak English natively. If their CV & folio interests you, an interview will demonstrate their ability to communicate!
