When was the last time you used e.g., i.e., etc., et al. and so on in everyday conversation? It just isn't normal to do so.
I've used ie, etcetera, et al, vis a vis in conversation before now, not everyday of course but as and when necessary. I don't see anything abnormal about it.
You've made my point - you don't use etc. in conversation, you use etcetera.
