Curious why would one think agile is micromanaging?

(At least in the case of Scrum): because some of the most vocal advocates say so[1]! The premise seems to be that fine-grained oversight is less objectionable if it comes from “the team” rather than a manager, and that model does seem to work for some. It still kills the opportunity to work autonomously for any non-trivial interval of time.
