I would think the point of meeting minutes is to bring people up to speed who weren’t present, or to catch up if the previous meeting was a long time ago. Reading minutes from last week in the meeting seems like the kind of thing people do to seem “professional” because they think it’s just the thing you do and couldn’t tell you the actual point of it if you asked.
Well, yeah, sometimes you should just light touchpaper and retire out the door… (And of course at dull ones one can always play computer games or make props, both of which I have done.)
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

Thankfully we don’t read minutes before our meetings. We just post them for people to read.

I have to say that boring meetings are preferable to some varieties of the opposite extreme.
