It's a corporate thing. I'm guessing your company paid some consultants hundreds of thousands of dollars to help them with their efficiency or innovation. The consultants to prove their worth have to give some BS suggestions and one of those was probably a rigid interruption of scrum and the requirement for your company to hire scrum masters. Coming from the startup world it never ceases to amaze me how inefficient the average corporation is with development teams, especially given how much they like to restructure and discuss the "corporate structure". BS roles literally everywhere. Typically only about 3 people in any team of 10 seems to do anything productive.
