Well, probably mostly because it's trendy. But as for why people who choose to do agile development for sensible reasons do so, I suspect it's because doing planning and data collection in such a way that they inform one another has better results than planning in the absence of data or data collection in the absence of a plan.
Why do you ask?
If you ask people to give you a clear alternative of a poltiical system then the only way to give you what you are asking is to give you something that migth work in theory but that's not based on empiric reality.
One of the big problem with Soviet style communism was that a central planner made a plan with wasn't well based on empiric reality.
As a result there are valid reasons for part of todays left to dislike the idea of central planning.
