The reason hierarchical relationships always seem to exist in the context of an organization, is that that's why civilization invented organizations in the first place. To mediate and de-personalize power. To get large-scale things done in the world, some people need to make plans and other people need to carry them out. And the last 5000 years of civilization has been an exercise in defining exactly how people are expected to do that. In a fully developed civilization (which we are, at least, approaching) power dynamics between people are always contained in an institutional framework with explicit limits and rights. Otherwise, power tends to get abused.
