It is a waste of time. Whatever you need to discuss regarding the tasks can be discussed once a week and then once the tasks have been assigned and discussed, trust the team to work at their own pace and time and deliver it by next Monday instead of micromanaging the team every day.

But why is that especially exhausting for remote workers? Why not local ones too?

You also foucs on assigned tasks rather than a team working together to get stuff done. Sounds like Software engineers, not product engineers. If you are pre assigning tasks and working separately then yes a daily scrum has no value.

But that isn't the point of a daily scrum, or scrum/agile at all. The focus needs to be on getting value to a customer together as fast as possible - not individuals doing a task each to build to a pre-defined whole. Iteration not increments.
