Why is one of the most common paranoia in someone suffering from Schizophrenia that the Government or some corporation is tracking them and have fitted them with a device to track their movements

It could be a generalisation at my end, but from what I have seen and heard a lot of people with schizophrenia have a similar paranoia and my question is, is why is it specifically about someone (mostly government) tracking their movements? Why isn’t it about something else?

I’ve had a bit to do with people with the disorder over the years, most recently through my volunteer work in the community. The auditory hallucinations and delusions I’ve seen from these people involve politicians, members of the judiciary (I.e. respected people) and distasteful or shameful acts (from toilet use through to pedophilia via corruption). There often seems to be a need to bring the powerful down a peg or two.
