That's a really interesting idea that I never thought about. Seems to make a lot of sense.

As far as business deserves to know what they are paying for, that is absolutely correct as well.

The problem is that business is not paying for story points. They are paying for actual product and delivery. So when they measure output by story points, you end up with a situation where teams are trying to maximize story points delivery, etc. as opposed to actual product delivery.

but that's the whole problem, if you constrain time, cost and result there's no any space left for agility.

the point of agile is to maximize the value of what can be produced with a given team within a given project, you picked time and cost and you apply agile to emerge stories that are actually important to you and push back on the gold plating.

if you have all three fixed, waterfall works just fine, actually even better.
