Because its not very intuitive until you start doing it (at least some parts). I mean having meeting for 10 mins every day vs 1x weekly hourly one works for every project I've ever seen. Shorter sprints work generally better too, tighter interaction with stakeholders is simply reasonable.

That's mostly what I've seen adopted, not much more. Its a bit painful if you ever need to go back, but entirely possible. Some people actually perform quite well with old ways.

Those 10 minute meetings are 5 hours of lost time for deep work each week. Daily status reports are excessive. "Sprints" in general don't work in my experience, they are unnecessary overhead. You want to work in something more towards half-year projects, not two week "sprints".

Note that’s a specific flavor of Agile related to Scrum, not the only flavor.

Personally I do 2 stand-ups a week, and a monthly sprint board (Kanban like?) with no sprint planning or any other process/system meetings. Any other meeting is as-hoc on demand. Working well!
