You’ve nailed it. 15 years of experience here.
Scrum messed everything up too - lots of less-technical people needed jobs in software and that’s where they tend to slot in.
The kids don’t seem to think one level of hierarchy higher than the context they’re in a lot of the time. Not much appreciation for holism and design patterns (your mileage with the latter can vary of course).
Elegance is down and writing your own shitty code instead of using decent opinionated frameworks is up.
If I’m frustrated I write code outside of work.

We do what we need to do, and if any humanities major with a Scrum background questions it, we tell them “we’re being a self-organizing team, just like the Agile Manifesto calls for.”
I love getting rid of those people. There has never been a downside from doing so.
