especially if you are a senior+ engineer, not having anything to show after a 2 week sprint is a red flag Is it? Couple of thoughts. One: At agile/scrum shops where I've worked, it's the team who's responsible for completing goals and demoing and shipping. Not individual developers. So an IC having their own stuff to demo would be incongruous. (I believe this is official "Scrum" doctrine, not that I necessarily care because I'm not the biggest fan of Scrum) Two: A senior engineer can optimize their time for crushing lots of solo work, or mentoring/collaborating with the junior devs. In that light, if a senior developer was racking up rockstar individual stats, I'd want to make sure that junior devs on their team are getting enough time and guidance. I can think of countless exceptions to the above. Maybe you have a team comprised entirely of senior+ engineers and no juniors and there's no reason to really collaborate, so senior engineers should then of course be delivering.
