Micromanagement - there is literally ability to make own decisions. You have to accountability either. Every single tiny aspect of work is dictated by somebody else, commitee or some kind of process.

Personal guess: groups full of people with high interest in people and great social skills won't produce something like scrum. It exists only because tech can give decision power to people who don't have those.

Human psychology: to large extend the above. It leads to absurd conflicts and power struggles over nonsense. Then it blames people who actually reacted in predictable way. It creates unnecessary hard social situations.

It is also massively demotivating. In fact, the components of motivations in pretty much any other fields are autonomy, mastery, accountability. Scrum lacks all three.
