That's a bit of an easy critic of Scrum on its literal sense rather than a critic on what doesn't work or isn't agile or is fragile. I've seen Scrum badly and imperfectly implemented everywhere I've been, yet I think this is preferable as having a strict interpretation of its principles and processes. I don't care actually if Scrum is intrinsically not agile (or Agile): I think what matters and is actually what's happening is people adopting Scrum with agility. It has good principles like backlog, sprint and daily meeting. If teams only pick one of those or anything else and that it help them, great! By the way holding solely Scrum accountable for failures is narrowing down the analysis to only one part of all things that can go wrong and have nothing to do with Scrum. That's a cognitive biases concentrate.
