But you know, development isn't about making developers 100% happy. It's about product.
Of course I know (and agree) with this. However, when (as has been my experience) agile actively makes developers unhappy in addition to reducing productivity, the product will inevitably suffer.
My experience (both as a PM and developer) has been that Agile projects tend to take longer to produce a worse product.
If the developers have no measurable yardstick to judge their progress, or middle management collects a bunch of meaningless metrics which don't help the development process
True, but all of that has little to do with Agile specifically.
