You answer to them in the same way a plumber answers to the customer he's doing pipework for.

You tell them how many sugars you want?

Although not a dev myself, it seems I'm called to sit in on "scrum" calls / meetings in every project. I don't think any of them have actually been scrum.

Hardly anywhere i've worked, who think they do Scrum, actually are doing it.
They think Scrum will make them agile - but of course Scrum is really a frameowrk to hep you leverage your agility. You need to be 'Agile' in the first place.

Putting the cart before the horse means they end up being neither.

Sure. So it pays to know your stuff and get some assurance before you accept the role! Done properly I think Scrum is probably the best situation for a (or vast majority of) modern developer to be in in terms of ir35. The completely autonomous & isolated programmer just doesn't exist anymore for anything more than trivial. Or at least it shouldn't!
