The daily scrum is supposed to be about coordination, not reporting status to management or evaluating progress of individuals. It's just an opportunity to say "I'm working on XYZ" so someone else can say "Oh, I need to touch that area later today. We should chat offline."
That doesn't mean every team handles the daily scrum well or that the purpose is never hijacked. But it does mean that if the scrum starts to feel like a tribunal, it's probably a process smell that should be raised in the sprint retrospective.
