The "system" for dieting is also simple (eat less, sport more), and yet many people struggle with that too. What would be really interesting is a scrum variety that is easy for people to follow without losing effectiveness.

Yes, but do people then go around saying "this dieting thing is totally dumb and a complete waste of time", "I just don't get why anyone would go on a diet", etc.? And how do those who have managed to stick to a diet and think they have benefited from it look at such people? Because this is the attitude that I think I am seeing in many comments in this thread.
Scrum is not dieting, it is just a particular diet. Dieting is agile. And it turns out that Scrum, like all faddy diets, only works for a very small percentage of teams, probably due to their particular character.
That character of enjoying being micro-managed as far as I can tell.

We still haven't established what is it about scrum that makes you say micromanagement. Do you regard all prescriptive statements as micromanagement? Is a software framework, such as Ruby on Rails, or Laravel, or Django micromanagement? Are code reviews micromanagement? Is version control with git micromanagement?
