Yes, but that's part of the point. A lot of people wait too long, and a standup makes sure it doesn't wait even longer.

Daily standups are a first line of defense against all sorts of bad practices.

But also, standups increase visibility so things get addressed and escalated faster. Maybe you thought being blocked wasn't a huge priority, but the team lead realizes it is and ropes in someone from outside the team to help.
