It seems that you don't actually object to the principles behind Agile or the processes themselves - just people who abuse and force agile processes on others without understanding _why_ these processes were introduced in the first place.

I don't think the terms you listed are just buzzwords, and I don't think people who use them are always going to be bad hires. It's just terminology.

Agile development has worked well at a lot of organizations. When you hear someone use these terms, you should probably begin digging deeper into why they think the framework/processes/whatever worked for their previous team.
