Right, but that is different than the PM asking the development team what we should do this iteration.

The PM is the conduit between the business needs and the developers. The PM and the lead team dev decides the backlog. Devs just pick the next story from the queue, but of course they have input on things as well and can convey this in any of the meetings or directly with the core dev or PM.

Yes they can coney things, but it isn’t by default. Having conduits, etc. is a waterfall approach.
