Agile was dead to me when I finished my PhD and joined a company that paid a Scrum consultant more than they paid me to help us move tickets without knowing what was the project about.
You'll probably find that the most highly paid people in most organisations only have a fairly abstract understanding of the work being done. This is nothing to do with agile.
I am perfectly fine with paying more for a technical project manager, or a team lead who can help us glue things together and see the big picture. But I am not fine with hiring a consultant who doesn't know anything about our product and thinks that Agile has some magic to deliver products.
