The problem is in many organizations it's hard to enforce people to prepare and send agenda before the meeting and developers rarely have position strong enough to change it. On the other hand while there are many places where you have to accept whatever is the old custom in the company, you should be able to change a lot when it comes to team meetings. Team meetings are basically under control of a team so not following above rules, especially the one about having darn good reason, is just making your and your colleagues' life more miserable.
