Developers come in all shapes and sizes. Some barely use Slack and are laconic on standups. The whole Agile (tm) is a surface treatment for having a grasp on complexity. It's more of a ritual thing than an exact science. The introvert developers are sometimes so introvert and protective that they deliver at the last possible moment stuff that doesn't follow any conventions set by the team and in some cases makes stuff explode after merging. I would rather have them forced to give me an update and subsequently a pretext to get a peek at their work under the guise of helping than have them fail the whole team. Eventually they shed their impostor syndrome, or at least I hope they do. Personally, I've been on both sides of this pattern and I would rather still have standups. As for supervision, I've seen teams selling bullshit with glitter on standups if there were transitional people or stakeholders. Then it's nothing more than the usual status update dance.
