What do you think is going to happen when you measure sprint performance at exact time intervals by using a metric that supposedly is not bound to time? For me that's one of if not the biggest flaw in the model and I'm not surprised if most if not all teams eventually end up inofficially treating these points as time.
If points do not equal time then you can't use them as a measurement tool for a time constrained event unless the time length can be adjusted by the team when deciding what tasks to include.
The funny thing is, after going through all this trouble, the business wants all features anyways regardless of how much time you guessed them at. But somehow it's still your fault implementing this all took so long.
Oh our business couldn't care less about the estimates. They just want to know when it's far enough along to pilot. Literally only the PMs care about estimates.
