I agree that it was done by many organizations before “agile” but that’s true of all agile practices. Agile is a philosophy and a collection of tools. None of the tools are new though.

Which is what, honestly, makes the term essentially meaningless.

To the extent that parts of agile are and have always been "best practices" we already had a term for those.
