It's a mixture

Unethical behaviour allows for immediate gain while sacrificing long term, at least if long term depends on future trust. Unless there is a chance for absolute power, which means long term gain is assured.

Car mechanics in strange cities and people associated in arranging wedding parties stand out as examples of people who have no such long-term incentives.

Rest case.
