I think a lot of companies heard about "that agile thing" and implemented stand-ups because that's the stand-out thing they can emulate from whatever blog article they read. Or they don't even associate it with agile. I don't think any of the places I've worked that did stand-ups were trying to do agile, it's just an attempt by the manager to know what's up without devoting much time to it. I haven't seen it work well in that context.
