From my experience the problem is that Scrum guides say (or used to say, it might have changed) that in order to do Scrum, you need to do it all. So all the certified Scrum Masters learn that they have to do daily stand-ups and all the other meetings, and because they believe their job is to implement Scrum (instead of making the team more productive), they enforce it all.

Every time I worked with certified Scrum Masters I had exactly the same struggles.

You raise a good point, and I’ve seen this in other contexts.

Team wants to be better at X. Y is a tool or process that helps them get there.

At some point, the goal of X is forgotten and Y subsumes everything, sometimes to the detriment of X.

It’s like a weird correlate or inversion of the XY problem and I’ve seen it in a lot of contexts.
