Do Managers Need 1:1 Meetings with Every Team Member?

All but one of my managers had their own bars set to quarterly meetings and all failed to deliver, so yearly one-on-ones it was, which is just silly. The one who tried to have monthly meetings ended up finding time for bi-monthly meetings. I appreciated the frequency, but they were completely pointless because he would ignore everything that he promised and forget about it until the next meeting, even though he himself took records of what he promised to improve in the relevant IT system. In the end he usually blamed me for not getting back to him, even though I would complain about the same things for months and he always promised to fix them. I don't think quantity matters that much, if your manager is capable and your work environment halfway decent you get away with a lot fewer meetings (especially if you have ad hoc ones when they are needed and you receive regular feedback when you need it - which doesn't have to and imo shouldn't be contained to booked meetings) , and if they are not those meetings probably are a waste of time and energy. Quality is more important than quantity.
