You realize that Extreme Programming pre-dates Agile? XP was one of those things that prompted the creators to get together and formulate what they all had in common compared to traditional methods. This is what resulted in the Agile Manifesto. The backlash if mostly against the consultants and pointy-haired-bosses that cherry picked from various Agile practices the things they could grok, and implemented that as a cargo cult solution. In wider IT world, that cargo cult method has become known as "Agile", just like "hacker" now equals "cybercriminal" for the rest of the world.
