Leave scrum to rugby, I like getting stuff done

If it’s the first thing done in the morning it doesn’t interrupt anyone, and I’ve personally gotten more than my five minutes of value out of standups.

But what is "first thing in the morning"? 8:00? 9:00? 10:00?

If different people start at different times (the norm in tech), then there's no such thing as "first thing in the morning". You must interrupt people, which means that you should make sure it's more beneficial than the cost of interrupted flow.

How does an event planned in advance "interrupt flow?"

This is not a reasonable argument.

Because at that exact time, you must stop what you're doing and do something else, regardless of your flow state. This is why regularly scheduled meetings should meet a high bar of benefit to offset the potential interrupt cost.
