I always viewed Scrum as training wheels. I've imposed it on teams who were dysfunctional as a way to get them on the rails. Hands and feet inside the car. Child safety locks engaged. It's a bit patronizing, but if you've ever worked with an unengaged team, it can be necessary. If you do it well, the team gets the feel for what agile delivery feels like and don't need the rituals to know what kind of touchpoints are actually required. Like the bottom of the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition. If you're "Big Tech" and have only hired the best and brightest and are working on enthralling problems, you tend to get people at the top of the pyramid who just run agile even when you don't tell them to.
