Depends on the job but this happens all the time for me because I often have to sit in meetings with customers (b2b company) and so usually we have to introduce ourselves at the start of the meeting.
Not to mention when I conduct technical interviews we have to introduce ourselves although you get more control over the introductions when you are the interviewer.
What do you think is different compared to when you join some new company, training or club and you are asked to present yourself to the group?
That happens a lot less than you think. And I try to avoid clubs etc that do that nonsense.
I have done this innumerable times at multiple jobs. Maybe it happens a lot more than you think
Maybe I just have a good job.
I’ve had great jobs, introducing yourself at meetings that include people you don’t know is just part of it

Maybe you are missing some nice encounters then.
