To be honest, I think the reason there's so much resistance to Agile in a lot of technical/infra teams is because it feels like a whole load of extra admin. No techie likes doing admin drudgery
True it's a bit like documentation.
Or meetings.

You didn't answer the question tho. How does turning video on in meetings enhance respect? Or the other things, engagement, collaboration?
You made the claim that turning on video in meetings "enhances respect" and I find that in particular quite odd.
The most unfortunate part of this is that the real agility is not something that can be bought in or something you can tell your teams to do. With most company executives looking for an easy solution, the tendency is to attempt to buy this in or hire expensive coaches who will sell you their particular flavour of Agile (TM), which leaves most people in a worse state than where they started. I can't think of an organisation who decided to 'do agile' and either buy it in or follow a prescriptive methodology that I can use as a good example. There are, however, some organisations that developed it themselves and found that it could be great, but don't think you can just copy their methods as they most likely won't work for you!
Spotify still haven't put in features that have been requested for years and have a terrible UX, so not sure they should be held up as a paradigm for anything.And this is why I shudder when people talk about scaling frameworks such as SAFe or harp on about the Spotify model.
At least Scrum is intentionally fairly vague and has big gaps for you to work out yourself.
The goal becomes the application of the process, not the outcome that applying that process was originally meant to achieve.
