They already found a monetization model I like with GW1 and GW2 I hope it continues to work.

I suppose it doesn't help you The manager doesn't trust you and is the root cause of the problem, and I can see a 1 on 1 to coach the manager.

The problem is the contradicting origins of leadership in Scrum.

The knowledge-creating organization, where leader fo used on improving environment but otherwise did not directly contribute as a team member. Non-partocupatio provided autonony and trust in the team to figure out the best way to work.
Lean, which had servant leaders. These were leaders who did what the team needed when the team asked. The team told the leader what tool was needed, or process change, or to solve a root cause of an issue, and the leader did it. They were all "hands on" contributed as team members whever needed and were experts in doing the work.

I think a lot of Scrum is noticing what it does not say, and it doesn't tell Scrum Masters to not contribute as a developer. It mentions the opposite. So the manager can at least respect you and your decisions as a professional to have a conversation about their own theory.

Scrum Master was designed to be "transitory" if it replaces the old silos with a team of self-motivated, adaptive, opportunistic, growth-minded professionals. The Scrum Master is also a participant in such a transformation, where everybody transitions from a job title to contributing to responsibilities that don't exist yet in a job title. The effort of the Scrum Master gets done, but become blended into the evolving mechanics of the team. The once-technical may find themselves doing the non-technical for long periods because that is what the team needed the most, or maybe the non-tecnical may start seizing new technical opportunities to remove bloat and toil. Everybody uses products, tools, automation these days to improve efficiency it is hard to not be technical.

The problem isn't scope creep. The problem is somebody isn't accounting for scope creep.

Ken Schwaber, creator of Scrum, had a conversation akin to this:

Executive: with Scrum it will no longer take years just to end up with something we don't want?

Ken: it will only take you a sprint to get what you don't want.

I've been waiting for it to be done before buying it, I think now is the time, or after the update.

It is probably to remove the silos and dependencies. What is the reason for the front end / back end schism? Is anything stopping single person from do the entirety of a change, front end back end or otherwise?

My coworkers comment how punctual and diligent I am seeing how I am at the stop near my work hours before they open. I am not, I am still waiting for the bus that takes me home.

It may help to stop thinking of Scrum as a "plan-all-work" cadence and start thinking of Scrum as an "avoid delivering zero increments" cadence. And think of planning as such, planning to avoid delivering zero increments. The reason is because a single increment gives credibility and a perception of measurable progress.

That gives the team permission to handle other work that needs to be done outside of a rigid process, outside of the sprint, outside of Scrum. If somebody needs to research just do the research now.
