Since when was scrum about deadlines?

Managers are about deadlines, and I'm afraid Scrum is about managers.

I'm seeing a lot of processes and tools over people and interaction in more recent iterations of Scrum implementations.

Sprint commitments were originally the opposite of imposed deadlines.
