No, it's because of the ever-growing disparity in wealth.
As wealth becomes more concentrated, more people are incentivized to serve those with excess wealth than those without.
This is all by design.
Greed is a feature of people, not political systems. People will always seek power. How can that be limited without a powerful legitimized structure? Power gaps get filled, and to be it seems better for the powerful structure to be a planned part of the system then "whatever gets to it first".
