It assumes that: devs can and have the right to talk to the final user, devs can negotiate anything, and devs can make plans. Where I've used agile, the whole circus was taken hostage by the managers and there was nothing you could do about it.
You'll tell me it's not real agile, but it's like real communism, I've never seen it.
I mean, I've never seen a real platypus but I'm not going to use that as a justification for why they can't exist.
I don't know what to tell you. It's a spectrum. I've worked in shops that claimed to be agile but to them, that just meant JIRA and story points. I've worked at places where agile meant having daily standups.
And I've worked places where there actually was a genuine attempt, and that was an awesome place to work.
