Because it was taken over by cargo cults like SCRUM who desperately try to turn it into a "process" forgetting the very first line of the Agile manifesto: "people over process". Agile is a philosophy not a process. The process will differ company to company, and should derive by working backwards from the goal you want to achieve: "We want to solve the right problems for our customers". What that ends up looking like, what you ship, what you DON'T ship, and how you do/don't ship it will matter entirely on your customer, your product, your company, and your specific team.
