I would say that a sprint is fundamentally about delivering a valuable Increment. Something useful, some kind of meaningful progress. You can start to use past performance as a way to estimate what you'll be able to do in the future, but only with a stable team that has been estimating its own work for a while.

The problem is, you don’t need a sprint system to do an incremental release.

Fundamentally, Sprints run parallel to incremental releases and are not supposed to be synced with them.

For example, a Sprint is once every 2 weeks. But the next product release could be determined whenever a certain feature is completed.
