Bureaucrats have their own set of incentives. They can increase their position within the bureaucracy, and increase the bureaucracy’s influence.

One of the reasons Americans are so “anti-bureaucracy” is because of precious bureaucratic oversteps.

It’s pretty well established the EUs administrators strongly value the influence I’d their own agencies (with some exceptions).

A good US example is the military. Army, Navy, Marines, etc. are in constant competition. Do any of the generals or admirals get to take home their funding?
