There are two obvious answers:

1) Companies wants work done for free and managers heard some rumor "setting goals is good". Anyway, there's no choice for every party involved: Mythical work gets added in addition to work where employee is supported. This lets employees that are already supported to have another bragging list, while employees who are not supported are held down by yet another instrument.

2) Managers never heard of or actually been part of agility and teamwork.
