Agile is relevant here because it has been adopted almost universally as a shovel to push more things on the programmer's back without much care to the quality of the changes being done.
Sure, it is not to be blamed as per Agile manifesto but how many companies are adhering to the manifesto? It is how it is used, not what it was used for.

Increasingly, I am also blaming the Agile Manifesto for causing the mess we are all in.
Given current business tendencies,
the authors should have probably foreseen the future consequences of their wishy-washy manifesto declarations. I think "true Agile has never been implemented" should not absolve them from assuming some responsibility.
