Probably the majority of any hate has little to do with any specific software and more to do with the general concept of trying to have business people assert any kind of authority or set any kind of goals at all, and hatred of such attempts may get transferred to the software by accident.
Relatedly, specific attempts at enforcing certain business-centric processes like Scrum and Agile would be upsetting for the same reason, and for the additional reason of requiring bureaucratic overhead and social interaction, which engineers want to minimize at all cost.
Businesses wishing to enforce such things is completely understandable from their perspective, and the continual search for some kind of workable process is an iterative thing. But probably those places that lean very heavily on the side of process and surveillance have gone too far. Setting and meeting medium and long-term objectives would be the thing to optimize for, instead of obsessing about process or ultra-short term task items.
