Well, that was kind of true for 2010 Scrum, in 2020 Scrum things changed. Now, they are focusing more on predictable outcomes than predictable deliveries. They realized that predicting deliverables can repeatedly give positive metrics of performance, but fail completely to deliver a good product. In fact, estimates can become a self - fulfilled prophecy, but outcomes, they should depend on reality outcomes. I wrote a little about it in "How Scrum Transformed Itself".

And yes, people use the words as technobabble too much, without knowing its meaning. And the first thing that they forget is something as simple as the first Agile value: "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools". In my case, is less than words, processes, ... and more about what were the original intentions, message, objectives. Then is when you can really inspect, compare, look what went wrong, and correct.
