Well, they sure make sense to us! We use sprint artifacts to create
documents that are clearly defined and prescribed by federal
regulations.
The developers themselves aren't creating the final documentation. But
we're talking about a room full of experts discussing what they planned
to do, what they actually did, how it worked out, and what they intend
to do next. What happier place for a tech writer to be?

Let me try to say that more clearly.
Agile was very specifically developed as a way of managing software
programming teams more efficiently. Its methods make no sense for
documentation...
