Calling it a to-do list instead of user stories? Not aligning teams on where we are in the to-do list regularly and removing and adding things?
Agile proponents often say "waterfall", but I have no idea how you would go about working waterfall day to day.
Would you just make all your user stories/to-do's on day one and never update them and now you have waterfall?
Having entered the industry long after agile became the new normal, it seems like the whole discussion is either "stand-up sucks" or people discussing variations of what is essentially "Regularly report where you are on the to-do list, often update the teams to-do list", but never "Why not this different paradigm instead".
Maybe I am lacking imagination, but I am not really sure what a serious alternative is here.
