You're kinder than I would be. I doubt it gets as far as "intention" with these mouth-breathers. It's one big knee-jerk, with the emphasis on "jerk".
at our core we all want what's best for the club - unless they are mancs in disguise, they probably genuinely think what they are doing (and the effort/cost they are putting in) is good for the club. sadly they need to remember that its what keeps us together that make us stronger.
