> Agile has become a way for people with no development experience to “manage” developers and that will always be wrong

True of course but also now the Developers and Architects are compensating for the scrum master's/manager's lack of knowledge in tangible and intangible ways - they bear the brunt of everything and that can become the many straws that broke the camel's back thing easily.

What do you mean? Scrum master's role is nothing more than facilitating the process, they don't need any technical knowledge at all.

In reality they turn into work assigners - individual A in team C has no stories to groom - let's give them some stories from Epic D which has more story points per developer. Think about how simplistic that sounds to the scrum master and how complicated it is in practice and who is filling in the gaps.

The sheer arrogance I've seen a SCRUM Master speak with on matters like these with zero development experience sent me up the wall.

That sounds pretty awful and definitely beyond the competence of a scrum master. I would expect such things agreed between product and engineering managers
