"At company x, they had a kitchen and a couple meeting rooms. Devs started using the rooms for cooking, and the kitchen for team standups."
Tools are just there, it's people who misuse them. If devs at company x are incapable of understanding that you shouldn't be cooking an omelette in the meeting room, to be honest that's on the dev, not on the separation of concerns that was put there for them.
Probably what's missing there is training to set the expectations, policing on their actions, and a soft reprimand when the typical first time mistake is done. But if the metaphorical rooms have no indicators, no name tags, and no obvious usage guidelines, because no one bothered to set them up, then yeah expect board meetings to end up happening in the kitchen.
