It doesn't matter if we get rid of The Agile. If you make The Agile go away, there will be something else, equally horrible.

The internal incentives in hierarchical organizations is to balloon the management, which suffocates the bottom of the pyramid. That's just how the world works, for most people, not just SWE. The Agile is horrible because corporate management makes everything horrible.

If you don't like it work in a small, carefully selected startup, or make your own company. Otherwise just accept that you're just a corporate drone and you have to endure the shitty corporate system to pay your bills. At least you get paid decently, because there's not that many people to replace you like in other professions.
