I don't agree that it is necessarily related to having more experience. Every profession has doers and suckeruppers. The first category gets their job done, maintains a professional enviorment and are generally straight forward people. They get respect because of what and how they do their work.
The second group feel that in oder to get respect they have to become everyones friend. It's easier than working hard. Sooner or latter they end up getting thrown under the bus by their so called friends and then they either quit or go around thinking how unfair everything is.
Unfortanately, officiating does not own the license these types of characters.
