in my team we don't micromanage, however I agree that some scrum events can be adjusted a bit. For example the sprint reviews don't make much sense if you can deliver any time you want, and we do. It's probably just a way to wrap a bunch of work we did and show it to keep everyone on the same page about what's happening.
Daily also don't make sense, because the team has several major tracks in parallel and I can't really contribute to what others are doing, unless I decide to put my work aside and/or overwork.
Why this? My guess is that it's more convenient for a manager to have a more consistent view of what's happening. On the other hands there are team members that like to hear what's happening besides their own work, and such meetings give them that opportunity.
The luck we have are the retrospective meetings: one of the most efficient ways to actually make actionable things. This meetung I would never cancel, because it has nothing to do with the sprint but with the teamwork, workload, etc.
The issue with all "things" is the ability of people to be able to adapt it to the own workflow. It takes balls and experience.
