A big part of it is how overwhelmingly negative the use of authority is within capitalism. This is a deeply pervasive issue because the ready-made conditions of capitalism make all authority seem to be inherently evil.
Absolutely, authority under capitalist relations necessarily implies subjugation and people who've grown up in this environment have a hard time imagining how authority can function in a different way.
