> negative emotions involved
Because the daily standup can only be X minutes, someone always gets cut off, causing negative emotions.

I'd say the much more common negative emotion is when you didn't manage to get the work done you had planned to do/spending way too long on a task and having to justify that in front of the team.
Often it seems that people talk about the 'micromanagement' and 'wasted time' as if they would not enjoy the daily. To me this is a warning, that something within the setup is not right. In general, micromanagement requires hierarchy, but I don't recall from the Scrum Guide [1] that a manager should be present or that directions should be given. So who is managing who?
If done right, there should be absolutely no reason why there should be negative emotions involved: The devs get together and talk about their work and the challenges they want to share. It is about fostering communication.
