It's not surprising that no one else commented about it because agile/scrum/lean are terms that cast a huge net.
If I just set deadlines, then I've recreated part of Scrum which has deadlines at the end of Sprints. Deadlines existed long before Scrum was defined.
I think of Agile, Scrum, and Lean as just names for common ideas about the nature of how work can get done efficiently. Very few of the ideas from these practices are unique to those practices. The reasoning for why those ideas work doesn't go away if you don't call it Agile/Scrum/Lean.
The important thing to recognize is that the ideas have merits on their own, and their inclusion in any particular lexicon or philosophy is incidental.
