You’re absolutely right - and that’s the e tire core point of Scrum: to promote agile methodology (which can be summed up as you just did)
However the reason there is “bs” (by which I assume you mean the process/meetings/etc) is that most teams suck at being agile. Scrum provides a more rigid framework so that a team can develop agile skills and then, when ready, move beyond scrum.
Most people think Story Points or terminology like Standups comes from Scrum too - they don’t! They’re from XP.
Scrum is exceedingly simple and suffers from being over complicated and dismissed by those who don’t understand it,

The blog post above is no exception.
