It's not about "what is getting done". It's also knowing why and what thing need to be done and finding efficiency in ordering the tasks. There is getting a temperature check of the team. Meetings have more meaning than "now you can't do one task". You're still working but helping others do their job too.

You underestimate how many meetings I’ve been called to attend where my feedback is never elicited.

This seems like a skill issue. You're in the room to provide your perspective or to deepen your own understanding of the initiative at hand. Not chiming in with your perspective or having any documented takeaways/clarifying detail is on you. If the meeting is really not a value add at all, skip it and make it known as to why.

Yeah, but we have no way of knowing if it's a skill issue on dohpaz42's part, or a skill issue on the part of the people inviting them to the meetings. Some meetings can benefit you/from you, others simply can't.
