I find meetings tend to start a few minutes in. Also at one of those companies you mentioned, people did run late or just didn't show up, especially the more senior they were (not out of laziness, they tended to run more important meetings late, or be double-booked). I hear in Germany if people aren't there when the meeting starts, it gets cancelled. It's definitely part of the culture.

Not Germany but at my company we wait about 5-6 minutes and if you don't show up for the meeting everyone drops off. Exceptionally rude to schedule something and expect people to wait. Doesn't happen again after everyone hangs up the first time.
