Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

Err... whiskey-tango-foxtrot!?

Of course you're supposed to listen to other pilots. Even when IFR, you
get a picture of what and where the other traffic is so you can think
ahead and anticipate what sort of clearance you're going to get, say,
when entering the terminal area.

Others have pointed out the CTAF so I won't labour that point.
Air-to-air communications is a matter of course, and very useful.
