Its because, quite frankly, most places suck at doing Agile. And they fully embrace most of the aspects of "Agile" that seem to be there only to treat devs as children and easily replaceable cogs. Most people's first exposure to Agile is in this kind of environment, and so they grow to resent it. Someone will undoubtedly come and reply to this saying that those places weren't really doing Agile, but that's irrelevant. They were claiming to do Agile, they paid some expensive consultants to train them on Agile, so from their perspective, they're Agile.
