Their "sound biting" of a complex issue resonates. It can be difficult to even explain what I'm doing to several people in the bandwidth of 2 minutes sometimes.

Most charitably, it's just a quick, lossy status report and forced request for help with blockers.

I feel like something is wrong if you feel like you need to cut corners to perform a "good-looking" report in standup. You shouldn't feel/cave to such a pressure.
