I would rephrase it as "sprint is meant to make management to believe that they'll get at least something in a predictable time".

I also notice that lots of comments seem to be coming from front-end or customer-based companies. For backend and b2b, 2 weeks sprint for some new functionality is funny.

I develop internal tooling for a b2b company, and we ship features multiple times a week. Much of that is backend.

Often not huge features, but still features that make life easier for colleagues.
