Depends. I've had plenty of tough calls with management laying out the impossibility of desired schedules only to have the Jira board estimates fudged in their favor, or similar, which puts pressure on the team to deliver on timelines they never would have estimated for themselves.

Ultimately it's a question of who's working by whose estimates.

Management not admitting time estimates from dev, management not willing to understand dev estimates (to maybe find a smaller solution together) and/or dev committing to not reachable deadlines are not scrum problems.
