The use of unnecessary daily standups is an industry-wide practice that few teams escape, and it's important to talk about their general unusefulness and hidden costs.

It has been proposed originally as an agile "let's do what makes sense for each case" practice, and as quickly been adopted by companies as a common micromanagement practice.

Yes its context-dependent, but at the same time, its something so pervasive that most developers can relate to it and have or will experience it one way or the other.
