A lot of this happens when people lose sight of the goals of doing agile, and instead become focused (you might even say obsessed) with just the rituals involved- IE the daily standup, the burndown chart, etc. These also tend to be the organizations in my experience where things tend to devolve quickly- standups take an hour, hard decisions aren't made in grooming, managers will go over the previous day's major fire and then beat up people over the fact that the burndown chart hasn't moved... They get to put down on their resume that they are doing the trendy thing though...
