Agile has become a way for people with no development experience to “manage” developers and that will always be wrong. The West’s obsession with “managerial” experience being a thing you can learn start to manage “anything” from is the origin of much of our malcontent. Management is just something you add on top of knowing how things work. It’s not valuable as an isolated skill.
True of course but also now the Developers and Architects are compensating for the scrum master's/manager's lack of knowledge in tangible and intangible ways - they bear the brunt of everything and that can become the many straws that broke the camel's back thing easily.

Who can blame them. They got an A for repeating what the professor repeated.
Look at the difference between Elon Musk’s two companies and their ability to execute vs their rivals. The amount of value that was created because of an engineer led is so vast - it’s hard to even quantify.
When my son was about 10 or so, my wife mentioned that they were forcing her to perform as "scrum master" on her team and he laughed and said, "'scrum master'? That sounds like something a third-grader would say to insult another third-grader - 'you're such a... scrum master!'". I think he had the best take on it I've ever heard.
