To give ideas based on your experience. To raise questions that might not have been considered. To build a team instead of a collection of independent cogs. To know what expertise your teammates have so you know who to go to with a question in the future.

It really shouldn't be much cognitive load to listen to what other people are working on for 10 minutes. If it is, it might mean the standup is running at the wrong level of abstraction or perhaps you aren't really a team that has a shared goal.
