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

Question

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?
