Team mates are the ones I'm working with all the time. I don't need scrum processes to talk to my team. A good team knows how and when to share information.

Scrum processes are just a way to ensure that no stakeholder, including team members, is left out of those talks, left in the dark, or left unheard. Having a clique single-handedly and unilaterally dictating changes without communicating them or listening to any stakeholder doesn't serve anyone's interests. That's how projects fail.

True. Scrum is a floor, not a ceiling. Nothing prevents the team from going above and beyond the daily standup and the sprint review in terms of communication, and I've never been on a team that didn't communicate a lot more than that. But doing that standup every day ensures that there is at least a minimum of communication, every day.
