I think it's easy for teams to feel this way depending on the mechanics of who's running standup. One of the biggest values I see for standup is talking through what you're working on. This opens communication with other engineers, especially if they default to working in isolation on their projects (even more so for remote engineers). I can't count the number of times we've had actionable changes to direction from just 5 minutes of standup that result in code reuse, uncovering unknown unknowns, etc.
