If teams can't consistently implement "Agile", then maybe it's not really that great of a method. Alternative explanation: There are a lot of shitty teams out there. Agile requires a culture shift, not just adoption of a handful of practices from a book. From my limited experience, it works very, very well if, and only if the culture shift accompanies the process shift. If the process is the only thing that changes.. it's painful. Agile process is pointless (and probably actively harmful) if people are so close minded they won't adopt the associated culture.
