IMHO, no coincidence in either case. The latter know they can be challenged, lose, and someone is probably going to "pay" with their job or whatever.
The former i.e. government/bureaucrats, have infinitely deep pockets, virtually no accountability, ironically funded by those they tyrannize, and no one is ever going to "pay". And even if they do "pay", it will be cushioned by tax advantages and or a cushy pension...all in my opinion of course...
