because everyone could have a different opinion on what it actually means instead of just a simple time based measurement. The whole thing is just absolute bonkers

Well for a day I've already meet: ideal man/day, average man/day of the team, man/day of the guy doing estimate.

Maybe estimation is complex thing and therefore team needs to align opinions before doing it?

We never do that though, we have to estimate our own tickets. So we're always estimating time for ourselves, we just can't say it's time though. Drives me mad but scrum masters these days have fully drunk the kool aid, it's fixed adherence to meaningless fibonacci story points or you're not doing it right.
