Same for MS Teams. Before, we used Google Meet, which produced 9-letter meeting IDs, that I would be able to remeber if I really wanted to.

Teams just generates mile long URLs that encode more information than some of the meetings themselves in the worst case.

Sadly this is also possible with a 9-letter code.

I went to a government committee meeting, first one of the committee to get the ball rolling. 2+ hours of everyone introducing themselves, to folk who already know each other.

And we're adjourned. Next month we'll discuss the rules of governance for the committee.

That's two of the total 6 meetings the committee has allocated.

And all the bureaucrats made plenty of show for the "progress we've made".

A lot of bureaucracy at the beginning might not be bad if it's indeed front-loading it for an otherwise successful collaboration.

What you say true. However, this particular organization has a well documented history of committee without action.

Well, in the worst case a single bit is overkill.
