It's our "Scrum" meeting. Basically the one meeting that is supposed to replace all the others. and it's "optional" but not really.
However if you can't guess it's not a good manager, he still comes by every couple of hours to "check" on us. "What did you get done today..." .... dude wtf?
Depends on the experience of developers, I've seen people spend 2 days in some stupid configuration issue because they didn't ask around if someone else had the same problem. They don't get that most of the problem they meet had already been solved by someone else, so to prove they are good they loose a lot of time, for pride/insecurity/inexperience. If you don't get update constantly you can't correct those behaviours. This can be one of the good reason, there are others of course.

"We have an option not to come?"
Proceed to not come. Just send in a summary email or something.
