The modern variations of Scrum and Agile exist to empower certain people to rule over teams without having to do much, if any, work.
The team is self-organizing but person X is the decision maker in the process.
There is an engineering manager, but they will get overruled by person X more often than not.
The framework is simple, but person X will add new rules.
Agile/Scrum says people must understand the domain, but person X is the only one talking to stakeholders since engineers are "not people persons".
I don’t think that’s why they exist, but I do think the structure is not robust to a large number of dysfunctions. This one included.
