Ask HN: Sprint Review as a Torture Method?

Just an observation, but I've seen some organizations that don't practice Scrum or Agile very well and don't put in the effort needed to improve it but they always want to have the Sprint Review.

So then I asked myself "why?" I think the answer is obvious, it's a form of micromanagement they use to keep developers feeling stress and pressure to perform.

This basically boils down to satiating developers who want Agile by pretending to do it while continuing to practice Waterfall.

Have others seen the same?
