I describe this as "agile manifesto" vs "agile methodology".

The agile manifesto attempted to describe a culture where devs could get things done.

All the methodologies are a bundle of useful ideas that came out of people attempting to find a process that fit the agile manifesto (and still delivered what the business cared about), but have been taken by consultancies, stripped of context, and sold as a panacea for what ails a company.

It's attempting to treat the symptoms, not the cause; the cause of what ails a company is bad culture, not bad process.
