It's basically a shitty way to push people to communicate. When people mention "well just get rid of it and talk asynchronously", one of the counterarguments tends to be "but X may not communicate".

Of course, no one bothers to answer the question "why does an adult need a daily reminder to speak?", and no one considers the repercussions of such a ritual (people will start hoarding questions until the daily, which makes the daily longer, which.. you get the point).

That's the entire problem with Scrum anyway. It expects a very specific environment and immediately risks becoming redundant in such an environment (based on team preferences). Outside of that environment, it fails to do anything.
