I guess that it is a cultural thing. When I was manager, one on ones were expected from managers like code was expected from developers. I had a group of people that the 1:1 were monthly instead on biweekly because they were more senior and needed less guidance. But, 1:1s was a key part of every manager job. In another company some manager did not have ones on ones, even that they were supposed to, and their teams were not happy about it. They saw it as their manager avoiding their responsibility and avoiding accountability.
