When you spend most of you working day and a lot of your personal time mingling with high worth individual, it is only a matter of time before you lose sight of what is their interest and your people interest. Also those high worth individual are not bad person or repulsive. I'm sure a lot have good intention but are too sheltered. They can become your circle of friend and there is no way back from there. There is also the plain political game. You can't make a political career alone, you need allies, people that trust you and support you within the party, above and under. Over the years, you get stuck in a network of dependencies that ties your hands. And there is the sad reality that no single decision is going to improve anything. You need continuous and consistent effort in one direction for years. So even if you are aware of all that I listed above, the truth is that you can't go fully lose cannon and actually achieve anything lasting.
