I think the article confuses what Scrum is and what some (probably most) companies make out of it. I agree that there are scary things happening in practice and I've seen a lot of scrumBut and scrumAnd that really endangers a lot of projects. My experience is that this is often caused by a lack of understanding of the methodology and how it can be applied and integrated into existing structures. Also existing structures need to be integrated with Scrum to make it work. That is, they need to be transformed to match agile workflows. The latter is not easy. Especially not in larger companies. I am not surprised that most do not even try to tackle this.
