Is this related to what business your employer is in? In other words, is their business producing code, or is code written to support some other business?

Or is this just everywhere now?

Everywhere. Normally adding an extra endpoint to the REST API would take a sprint. Now PM expects you to do two. Only way to get that done is a lot of vibe-coding and delivering sub-par results.
I am amazed that anyone ever needed a "sprint" to "add an endpoint".

It usually speaks to the approach you are taking, but I also believe sprint-based planning leads development teams to make work fit into it instead of needing natural time to do it.

Let's remember that all of have probably built full systems over a weekend. What organizational dysfunction has led to us needing a sprint is what needs fixing.
