>I’ve been in those meetings, we’ve all been with different responsibility levels, we know that people are slacking at least 80% of the time
meetings are so much fun that of course people go to them all day long in an effort to slack off.

But what happens once developers gets the power? Just look at architects, scheduling meetings where he talks about the latest tech blogs he read. Or managers, scheduling meetings where they talk about the latest linkedin blog he read. Or even CEO who schedules a company all-hands where he talks about the latest team-building blog he read on HBR. In those cases meetings aren't work, it is you forcing people you have power over to listen to your hobbies and thoughts. Of course the participants wont like it.
Why not? There may be a toxic management culture in some places, but in a well functioning organisation the manager wants people to challenge things.
I hate those meetings.
I used to sip coffee and daydream during most meetings when I was a junior dev.
