Craftmanship went down significantly, development was all about politics and power play between developers, you felt micromanaged and frequently forced to produce worst code, customers were unhappy and results were crappy expensive unmaintainable software.

There was agile even before Scrum. Extreme Programming was perhaps the beginning, that was early 2000s.

There was something real there before it was relentlessly cargo-culted and turned into a management fad.
