Yea. It’s called social dynamics and plays out in pretty much any situation.

Please don’t think I’m a fan of the people at play here, I’m not. But it’s pretty standard stuff.

I‘d call this politics instead of social dynamics and argue that its importance differs across companies, but generally. I’d agree though that I also don’t find this out of the norm (in those specific circumstances)
