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?

I once worked at a mental health hospital and had to read all the police and doctors reports.

Just to add… aliens. Super common for EITHER the CIA to be spying on you through your toaster or other electronic equipment….or aliens doing the same. Surprisingly the tin foil type hat to mitigate such interference was reasonably common, not just a trope.
