You know it's ironic that people think that scrum and agile is dying and at the same time everyone's dog and their uncle is working in sprints, or using a Kanban board, etc. WTF are these people doing I wonder??? And why???

I think both are true. Agile/SCRUM as these vaunted “hire a coach and certified scrum masters and your process blockers go away” org-wide religions are on the wane.

But they left behind a few practices that were easy to adopt and lots of people liked (whether that makes them “the good parts of agile” or “lazy process theater” depends on who you ask). Sprints, boards, paying attention to velocity, and so on.
