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?

The delusions of someone with paranoid schizophrenia actually vary by culture!
[There are differences between cultures in the prevalence of persecutory delusions much of which is culturally bound. For example, in South African Xhosa people, paranoid delusions and hallucinations are often triggered by an intense fear of magical persecution and witchcraft. In South-East Asia and China, the stressor is fear of loss of fertility through ascendance of the penis into the abdomen.](https://neurotorium.org/schizophrenia-across-cultures/#:~:text=There%20are%20differences%20between%20cultures,of%20magical%20persecution%20and%20witchcraft)
